What is It? game 263

Hey look! It's time for our collaboration with the ever-entertaining What Is It? Blog! Do you know what the object in this picture is? Guess and win a t-shirt from the NeatoShop! But first, read the rules:

Place your guess in the comment section below. One guess per comment, please, though you can enter as many as you'd like. Post no URLs or weblinks, as doing so will forfeit your entry. Two winners: the first correct guess and the funniest (albeit ultimately wrong) guess will each win a T-shirt from the NeatoShop.

Please write your T-shirt selection alongside your guess. If you don't include a selection, you forfeit the prize, okay? May we suggest the Science T-Shirt, Funny T-Shirt and Artist-Designed T-Shirts?

There are more mystery items at the What Is It? Blog. Good luck!

Update: these are are tusk covers for Indian battle elephants. They look pretty dangerous, too. Paul D got it right with the first comment, so he wins a t-shirt from the NeatoShop! Among many funny answers, the prize for the funniest gives to Samantha Simons, who said, "It's Captain Hooks tooth pick! All he has to do is have Shmee take off the hook and put on the tooth pick. Even pirates can have good dental hygiene!" That's good for a t-shirt, too! Thanks to everyone who played, and thanks to the What Is It blog, too!  


That is quite obviously the 1349 Stygian Award for Underworld Excellence. That year, the Styggy was awarded to the Yersinia pestis bacterium for going above and beyond the call of duty in the annual membership drive.

Non-funny guess: it's an antique fabric cutter. Instead of using scissors, you selected the spot to cut then pulled it against the blade.

Long John Silver peered intently through his spyglass. Galloping toward him was a large, white horse... but wait! A horse with a horn?
Unfortunately, so fascinated was the pirate by the appearance of a real, honest to goodness, unicorn, that he failed to dodge aside.
The relic we see here, ladies and gentlemen, were removed from the pirate's eye socket, post mortem.

It's a medieval tool: a combination sheep-shearer and pig castrating device. (And of course, in the olden days, it was often and repeatedly the subject of mothers' eye-putting-out warnings.)
