A new Whatzis?

While we wait on some more clues from Murray for his offering, I"ll give ya this one.

1. The scale is off, on purpose.

2. It is a quintessential Castle Artifact.

That'll get ya started. More clues standing by as needed.

So - whatizzit?

I won't be surprised if this one gets figgered out pretty quick, actually.

A bullet stuck in kevlar or spectra cloth, viewed from the front as a guess. I'm presuming it hit something at low speed where the camera is and didn't go right through.

A mummified nipple. (sorry... that's the first thing that came to mind, John)

When I'm checking to see if my bottle of Chianti is truly empty, it looks something like that!!

The bundled parachute of a flare or other round?

Egyptian hand grenade. 1. The weave of the papyrus casing identifies it as late Early Upper Middle Kingdom, probably from the armory at Abydos. 2. The camel hair twine securing the casing and fuze further identifies its source of manufacture as the west bank of the Nile. 3. The clincher is the use of a mummified nipple as a fuze.

I think that Old Fat Sailor has it right: canvas wrapped case shot, held together by marline.
