Friday mystery object #487

This week I have a lovely specimen from the Dead Zoo for you to have a go at identifying. It’s very unusual looking, but as a result it’s very distinctive:

Any ideas what it is? If you recognise it, then please have a go at making your answer cryptic, so people who are less familiar have a chance to work it. I look forward to your responses and hope you have fun with them!
