Hook

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a single fishing hook titled "Hook" by an unidentified artist. The hook is made of metal and has a greenish-blue patina. The hook is positioned vertically with the point facing to the right. The hook has a rounded eyelet at the top. The hook's shaft is long and thin, curving downward to form a semicircular shape. The point of the hook is sharp and angled slightly outward. The hook is centered in the image against a plain gray background. The gray background is flat and featureless. The lighting is even and shows texture on the hook.
