A steel hanger features a teardrop loop atop a larger pear-shaped ring. The upper loop showcases delicate openwork patterns of leaves and vines. A central hinged column with stacked rings joins the two sections. The larger bottom ring includes a diagonal metal arm forming a spring closure. Across the matte gray surface, small pits and textural variations provide a weathered appearance.
