They actually come in a variety of sizes.

If I had to guess, this one is around 5 or 6 feet long.

Nothing to do with walking.

Is it a scepter that signifies royalty?

Not a symbol of any kind.

A strigil?

Nope.

Navy guy might recognize it though.

This has two names I want both.

 

[puptentacle]

It's a Kodama or Tree Spirit. Japanese. I don't know of a second name, however.

Can anyone tell I've seen WAY too much anime with my daughter?

 

[4meandthem]

Those are both names.

 

[puptentacle]

Great! I'm working on a good post. Give me a bit of time.

Photo taken by yours truly. I don't need a location, just what it is. Bonus if you can tell me what application this is used for.
