Might that be the edge if a billabong in the foreground? If so you have nailed it.

Re: MYSTERY OBJECTS
Wow - what an addition to my knowledge. I'm almost pleased that it's not a Koolabar.
Check it out Quandong Tree
A bit of skillful PR, and it could be the new 'wonder food' - kicking aside Chia seeds and Quinoa.

Hadn't seen that. There was no reference to Japan about it, or where it was.
I'll leave it a bit longer before a add a clue.

Re: MYSTERY OBJECTS
Total guess. Looks like it could be something mechanical. Perhaps with pulleys fitted in the slots with wires pulling the figures along a slide like a very early clock or some kind of server. ????
Re: MYSTERY OBJECTS
Is it a sketch of something constructed of timber and part of an old boat or ship?

Re: MYSTERY OBJECTS
Found it in the Vasa Museum in Stockholm, a really interesting place. Both Tizer and Plaques have pretty much got it I think.

Re: MYSTERY OBJECTS
I think Plaques' mention of pulleys and Gloria's saying it was in Sweden must have triggered memories for me. We had a holiday in Sweden some time ago and went to Stockholm and the Vasa Museum. Although I don't remember that specific item it's the memory of the ship that did it for me. We hired a car and travelled around southern Sweden. The farthest north we went was Uppsala where Carl Linnaeus had worked when he established the binomial method of naming plants and animals. I also had colleagues at Lund University and we visited there at a different time and I had the pleasure of being the external examiner for one of the professor's PhD students. Their PhD exams are more rigorous than here and the student also has to face a lecture theatre full of academics who ask questions too. It's an intimidating experience!

Re: MYSTERY OBJECTS
I think you have been very generous Gloria. I was thinking of something much smaller than ships ropes. I would be happy with 4/10.
Re: MYSTERY OBJECTS
The Vasa Museum is a fascinating place, and when you stand behind the ship and look at the shape, it's no wonder it sank.

Re: MYSTERY OBJECTS
Not a mystery object, but thought it would interest some of you. From the Vasa museum, tool box and tools. Sorry for the reflection.
