What am I? Round 10

Hopefully my dry spell for blogging is over. To help goose the creative juices I scoured the house this morning with camera in hand looking for a new subject for "what am I?"

And here is what I found:


I took the item outside on the railing of the deck to make the best use of the natural light (and it's always more sneaky to not photograph the item in it's natural environment!)

So guess away! Guess often! There will be 4 pictures, one per day, before the final reveal. Unless someone guesses it sooner!
