Hello @rajeshk 

It appears to be the Everhang 8kg Brass Plated Picture Hooks - 4 Pack. If it is, the hook is rated to carry 8kg, please check the packaging it came in to make sure it is the Everhang brand. If it is not the Everhang brand, I can't tell you how much weight that picture hook will hold.

If you need further assistance, please let us know.

Hi @rajeshk 

Please also keep in mind that no matter what the hook is rated at, it also depends on the type of wall it is fixed to. If it is a plasterboard wall, I personally would be using a more robust fixing method.
