Jamb Hook

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a black and white photo of a disassembled "Jamb Hook" by unknown artist. The hook has a rectangular base plate on the left with two holes, one on each end and a groove down the center; two screws are placed above it. On the right, a curved hook with a ball on the end and a flat base is shown. The base of the hook has a square shape with a semi-circular cutout at the top; it appears to be made of metal and has a dark, weathered appearance. The background is a plain surface, possibly paper or metal.
