Buckle

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a metal buckle titled "Buckle" by an unknown artist. The buckle is made of a dull gold-colored metal and appears to be old. The buckle has two loops side by side, forming a figure eight shape. The loops are connected at the center. The prong that sticks through the loops to hold it closed is dark-colored and slightly bent. The background behind the buckle is light blue. The buckle casts a faint shadow on the background.
