Buckle

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a greenish metal buckle titled "Buckle" by an unknown artist. The buckle is rectangular with rounded corners and has a square hole in the center. The buckle is made of a greenish metal, possibly bronze or copper, and has a decorative pattern etched into its surface. The pattern consists of lines that run along the edges of the buckle, forming a series of small, rounded shapes. There are two small circular protrusions on either side of the buckle, which appear to be rivets or pins. The background of the image is a plain light blue color.
