wall hook

Vertical surface anchor

A wall hook is a small fixture mounted to a wall for hanging things—coats, keys, towels, pictures.

The hook projects outward to catch whatever is placed on it.

Wall hooks range from simple metal curves to decorative pieces: She installed a row of wall hooks by the front door.
