What is this thing? -- Ruby (Red) Tuesday -- A quiz


I found it at church. Mrs. Jim was doing some work there and it was sitting on the table.

Since it is new there is an invoice which details brand and everything. Only problem is that the envelope is home and I am away visiting.

Mrs. Jim is here so I asked her. She said, "Scott knows." I told her that I had written on the envelope but I needed to know NOW for the blog, Ruby Tuesday in RED.

So all I can do is to tell you later tonight if you care to come back and look.


If you know or think you know please tell me what in your comment. Thanks.

  1. Hi Jim,
    It reminds me of an Africian gourd drum. I can't tell if the top is solid or open.
    I'll be back to find out what it is. :)
    That was a lot of bead work!

  2. Certainly an interesting piece! As Carletta said, I thought of a gourd instantly, but I wonder about being African! I'm not sure either but love it!

  4. I also thought of a gourd, but that would be too easy I guess.

    Interesting beads on the 'thing.' Looking forward to the answer to your quiz, Jim.

    Happy Ruby Tuesday ~

  5. Oh wait, at church? Maybe a pitcher to hold water when it's time for the washing of the feet?

  7. Dear Jim,
    Your thing sure has an ethnic look.
    Could its origin be as close as Mexico?
    Honestly, I haven't got a clue.
    As nice macro photo it is.
    And, yes, I will be back to get the answer.
    Curiosity might have killed the cat, but it also has brought man to the moon.

    Gunnar and my friend Turid are all alike.They can easily connect with animals, wild and domestic.
    Good companions to hide behind for a coward like me.

  8. I'll go with a vase - perhaps inverted. Perhaps not. A loudly decorated winter squash?? I'm stumped. Maybe the gaudy dress just makes us confused...
