Jamb Hook

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Metal piece with two sets of three protrusions; each set attached to a thin rectangular plate with a hole in it; the protrusions on the outside have rounded bulbous tops and ridged bodies; the middle protrusion has stacked ridged sections; a teardrop shaped piece extends down from the plate. The piece appears to be a "Jamb Hook" by an unknown artist.
