Overall: I personally was interested by this hook, and enjoyed clicking the other links about the hoe-shaped bracelets too. It's possible an even hook-ier hook could be made out of the idea that these "bracelets" were more likely worn as pendants or not worn at all, or out of the idea that they are found in the graves of people with "priest-like power". Just some ideas in case you want to propose an ALT or two, but as I say, I think the current hook is also OK as-is. ~ L 🌸 (talk) 04:27, 8 March 2025 (UTC)Reply
