Rectangular Buckle Finding with Rhinestones

This is a rectangular metal jewelry finding or buckle. It is made of a yellow metal, likely brass or a gold-toned alloy, and features a central rectangular opening. The top and right edges of the rectangle are adorned with small, clear, faceted stones set closely together. There are approximately 9 stones along the top edge and 9 stones along the right edge, totaling around 18 visible stones. The stones appear to be round or possibly square. The finish of the metal seems polished, though there is some visible wear and minor surface scratches commensurate with age and use. The back of the piece is not visible, so information on manufacturing details, maker's marks, or attachment mechanisms is unavailable. The design is simple and geometric, with the embellishment focused solely on two edges. The overall size appears to be small, consistent with a component for a belt, bracelet, or other accessory. The visible condition suggests some level of prior use, but no significant damage such as breaks or missing stones is apparent from the image.
