The second row from the top contains a small hook-shaped piece on the right, a short curved handle in the middle, and an octagonal piece with a smaller piece on top on the left. The third row contains two bracket pieces and one handle with a decorative center. The bottom row contains a long thin piece with holes on both ends on the left, two bracket pieces in the middle, and a long screw with a hook on the right.
