Belt hook in the shape of a monkey

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The object is a belt hook shaped like a monkey. The hook is made of metal, with gold accents. The monkey has its arms wrapped around a circular element with an eight-pointed star design and gold details, and the hook extends down from this. The monkey's head is at the top and its body and arms are greenish metal. The monkey's right arm is bent at the elbow and rests on top of the circular element. The hook at the bottom is a loop. The background of the image is light gray.
