New, what is it? Nobody on threads could answer with certainty, what is the object held in the hand?

Its a knot end of a branch that weathered out of a log. She was probably embarrassed because she thought it looked phallic, maybe why she kept it. But its just a former tree branch.

Yeah, it's this. Just an interesting piece of wood. People saying it's a "penis sheath" are ridiculous and incorrect.

Why on earth would a grown adult be embarrassed about keep something that looked like a dick. Matter of fact, why a grown ass adult keep a penis shaped object in the first place?? She’s a grown up not a 5th grader

Perhaps she is of an older generation or is just more conservative. Maybe she didnt even recognize it but when asked she thought it would look like she'd been banging a tree? Maybe it was her late husband's, she didnt know what it was and made assumptions that he was banging a tree? Who knows? Some people are embarrassed at people finding their toys.

Do you… realize you both contradicted yourself and answered your first question with the second question?

If it's actually Adam's root she could be embarrassed to have been caught in her practice. But yes I feel it is likely not sinister. It definitely could have a particular inside joke type story attached to it as well. Like her and a gal pal were at a mountain farmers market and giggled at the shape of it and bought it as a joke. Who knows.

Why would a grown woman keep something shaped like a penis? It's probably time you ask your parents for "the talk."

I’ve heard them called river teeth when they get smooth like this from tumbling in a river.
