Buckle

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a greenish metal object with two oval-shaped holes. The object is made of metal, with a greenish patina covering its surface. The metal appears to be weathered and worn. The object has a distinctive shape, with two oval holes side by side. The holes are roughly the same size and are positioned horizontally. The object has a small protrusion in the middle where the two holes meet. The ends of the object are shaped like pointed triangles. The background of the image is light blue-grey. The object is centered in the image, and the title of the image is "Buckle" by an unnamed artist.
