Jamb Hook
The image depicts two black metal door handles with a distinctive design. They are positioned side by side and viewed from the front. The handles are symmetrical, with a long, thin base that tapers to a point at the bottom. A small hole is visible at the bottom of each base. The base then widens and curves outward, forming a teardrop shape. At the top of the teardrop shape is a short stem with a spherical knob. A curved handle extends out from the sides of the teardrop shape. The background of the image is a plain gray color. The door handles are titled "Jamb Hook" by an unknown artist.
