Girdle buckle

The image shows a gray, ornate metal girdle buckle. The buckle is symmetrical with a central vertical section and two rounded sections on either side. The central section features a rounded shape at the top and a ridged, cylindrical shape below. The rounded sections on either side have a circular cutout with a wave-like design inside. The top of the buckle has a shell-like design with leaves on either side. The buckle appears to be made of metal and has a smooth, weathered surface. A ruler or measuring device is partially visible in the bottom-left corner. In the bottom-right corner, there is a small label that reads "THE METROPOLITAN MUSEUM". The background of the image is a solid gray color. The buckle is by an unknown artist and titled "Girdle buckle".
