What type of frame fixing is this? And how do I fix it to the wall?

All you need is to put a normal picture hook on the wall and it will slot into the middle part of that fixing on the frame.

I'm not 100%, but when I have seen these before I always fix a suitable size screw (judged in part for the type of wall and size & weight of the frame) to until perhaps the head and approx 5mm is left out the wall, and then slotted the fixing over the head of the screw The serrated section should I think rest on the 5mm of the screws length with the head of the screw nearly covered by the raised section.

Me thinks I could have perhaps described this more clearly!

Having only joined this community moments ago I feel almost presumptious in leaving a comment so soon, but I cannot resist saying, don't use too big (fat) a screw. Then the picture can be moved sideways from serration to serration in order to level it. Most people underrate the shear strength of the ordinary wood screw

I recently retired from 33 years 126 days of hanging other peoples pictures Actually looking back even that was not that recent.
