SLP 292

292 days into my year long making of a daily still life. As promised more views of yesterday's mystery object. Any further ideas as to what it is?

It doesn't look like a cone anymore but I have no idea what it could be

@kjarn There was a clue yesterday when you said it was part of an object, not a cone and not half. What do you think created the "hairy" bits and why the different colours?

[Andrew-Bede Allsop]

A further clue. Not normally seen but relied on by most of us.

[Kathy A]

I'm going yellow for safety and black rubber for anti slip but no real idea

[Andrew-Bede Allsop]

@kjarn Getting there, yellow is safety connected as to a certain group of people it conveys what it is, much like electric plug wire colours do (and that is a very big clue).

[Susan Wakely]

The hairy bits look like frayed plastic that has been cut but otherwise I am flummoxed.

[Andrew-Bede Allsop]

@wakelys Yes they are indeed exactly that. So we can summarise: cut plastic which means a section of something, yellow for danger, not electric, normally unseen but instantly recognizable to a certain group of people. It is a cut section of...???

[Annie D]

for get pushed - something textured :)

[Suzanne]

Frayed piece of plastic piping for around wiring?

[Andrew-Bede Allsop]

@ankers70 Nope. If it is not to do with electricity wire but is much like it in its purpose it is to do with what?

[Andrew-Bede Allsop]

@annied Thanks Annie, good one. Cheers.

[Kathy]

I haven't a clue. Nothing I've seen has helped me out.

[Andrew-Bede Allsop]

@kjarn @wakelys @ankers70 @randystreat @30pics4jackiesdiamond @dkbarnett Thank you all for commenting on this mystery object, it has been great fun and I enjoyed reading all your speculations but it is time for me to reveal exactly what it is...it is a shaped section from a Gas Main pipe.

I would never have guessed that
