Portions of a Buckle

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image depicts a buckle titled "Portions of a Buckle" by an unknown artist. The buckle is made of dark green metal, possibly bronze. It consists of two main parts stacked on top of each other. The top part features two fish on the left side and a curled design on the right side. The bottom part has a similar design but with a different arrangement of animals and patterns. The buckle is displayed on a metal stand. The background is a white surface with a shadow cast by the buckle. There are off-white walls behind the display.
