wall hanger

Art suspension hardware

A wall hanger is a device or fixture designed to hold objects on a wall, such as hooks, brackets, or mounting hardware.

The term also refers to items specifically meant to be displayed on walls, like decorative plates or framed art.

In hunting and fishing contexts, a wall hanger is a trophy-worthy specimen—an animal or fish impressive enough to mount and display: That twelve-point buck is definitely a wall hanger.
