[Al Swearengen]

After analyzing this less-than-clear pic (looks blurry as hell), Ive made a few observations:
1. The short legs of the table would seem to indicate that the object on it is HEAVY.
2. The table looks remarkably like a game table (chess, checkers, etc).
3. Asians of one stripe or another use tables of this sort.
3.The object on the table has peculiar grooves on either end.
4. The object on the table could be made of anything from stone to papier machet`.
5. The object has an ambiguously gay appearance.

Based on the above observations, Ive drawn the following conclusions:
1. The object may be a sexual aid of some sort ( ie a pillow)
2.The object may be a reliquary (small coffin filled with bones, Moses's tablets, Ark of the Covenant, etc)
3.The object may be a stone used for sacrificing animals (blood grooves for run-off on the ends)
4.The object may be an early example of a "mobility restricting device" ala shackles or leg-irons.
5. The object may be a cocoon or eggsac containing a human oddity.
6. None of my conclusions are correct and I will likely be annoyed upon learning the object's true nature.
