Buckle

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Rectangular metal object with green patina, featuring intricate cutout design. The object has a flat, rectangular shape with a long horizontal slot at the top. The cutout design consists of various shapes, including triangles, squares, and curved lines, arranged in a symmetrical pattern. Two small square holes are on either side, near the bottom. The object is made of a weathered metal, likely bronze or copper, with visible signs of aging and wear. It appears to be an old, possibly antique, piece, titled "Buckle" by an unknown artist.
