Hook

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Metal fishing hook by Hook. The hook is made of dark-colored metal, possibly steel or iron, with a rough texture and visible signs of wear. It has a long, pointed tip at the top and a curved, open end with a sharp barb on the inside. The hook's body is slightly thicker at the top and tapers down towards the point. The hook is positioned with the point facing upwards and the curved end facing downwards. The background is a plain light gray color.
