Buckle

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a belt buckle. The buckle has a rectangular base with rounded edges. The base is made of metal, likely silver or gray, and has a worn, aged appearance with white and black spots. A brass-colored metal loop is in the center. The loop is attached to the base by two prongs on either side. There are two small screws on either side of the buckle. The background of the image is light blue. The buckle appears to be titled "Buckle" by an unknown artist.
