Looks some what like a decorative ball like these:

I'm thinking it is art as well.






But if you twist it and the Cenobites come after you, don't blame us.

I'm thinking don't twist or work it any way!!! You may wind up with ol' Pinhead and them Cenobites. Ohhhhh, thats scary...d(did I sound like Count Floyd?)2

BUNCH NICE BALLS ON THE PAGE .

Yes, I agree with everyone in that it's a decorative ball generally displayed with several others in a bowl. Places like Pier 1 Imports currently carry these.

My take is this, it could be a root of a tree that was carved and the dirt could have been trapped in it explaining the sand or dust falling out of it.IMO but also just decorative.

There are several woodworker (wood turners) books where the 1st pic is an example of museum quality artwork.

Refer to 'New Masters of Wood Turning' by Martin & Wallace.

Similar quality artwork exhibited on the cover with a 6 page article.
