Photograph of a single, U-shaped bronze/copper-alloy fish hook with a pointed tip and a slightly curved bend.
The object is shown isolated against a light background. It has an open U form: one end rises to a rounded/closed tip while the opposite end tapers to a smaller point, suggesting a hook catch. The surface is heavily green-blue (verdigris) with areas of darker corrosion, and the metal shows weathering rather than fresh metal. No decoration, suspension loop, or rivets are visible. No hieroglyphic, Greek, Coptic, or Arabic text is visible on the object. No cartouches or royal names can be identified.
