Is it wood?
Hi ERIC!
Sorry. It’s not wood, although it does look like a nice wood grain.

I think it is a fungus, but I cannot explain the 3 layers :)
No. Not a fungus.

dried figs? hmm, I want some now :)
I love dried figs and would have trouble getting the camera out to photograph before eating them all.
Not dried figs.

are the segments joined? and is it handmade?
A. I’m not sure if there are joined segments or if it is all one solid piece. The object may have had some flexibility when it was in use. In its present state, it seems to be all one piece.
B. It is NOT handmade.

Is it an agate or other rock used in jewelry?
No, Kay, it’s not rock, stone or gem. Not many people would want to wear this.

Ok, how about an insect?
Ah. Here we go. Yes, it is an insect. 50% credit. Let’s see if the type of insect can be found.

A cockroach?
A beetle?
Not a cockroach.
I’m not sure if it’s in the beetle family or not. I’ll check that in a minute.

I’ll say no, it’s not a beetle. The word “beetle” is definitely not in its name.

a moth?
Not a moth
