[Rosie] Shotgun? NO, neither single- or double-barreled.

[Chalky] Geography? NO.

On further consideration, [Chalky]'s previous question was incorrectly answered due to an overly narrow reading of it. So, to revisit:

[Chalky] Is the animal connection to a product of an animal? YES.

[Chalky] Leather? NO.
[Raak] Container? YES, although this may be misleading.

[Graham III] Milk bottle? NO.
[Chalky] Usually found in a home? NO.

"Of", not "on".

"The", not "hte". I dunno.

[Rosie] Restrict movement of animals? NO.

Time for a recap:

We have a MINERAL with ANIMAL connections.

It is NOT: "Tigereye" gemstone, human animal-ish, a mousetrap, a mantrap, a birdcage, a model or representation of an animal, a fossil, a medical device, owned by a typical Morningverser, connected with farming, made from an animal product, a building, a shotgun, a geographical feature, leather, a milk bottle, found in a typical home, used to restrain animals.

It IS: Man-made, made using metal as a component, connected with an animal product, a container.

It is SOMETIMES: made using glass as a component.

A contestant aroused audience interest when asking if it was a model of an animal.
A contestant aroused audience mockery when asking if a typical Morningverser owned one.

[Dujon] Animal connection originates from name? NO.
[Software] Glasses case? NO.
[Graham III] Cow creamer? NO.

Clarification/hint: The fact that the subject is a container isn't central to its identity.

[CdM] Bigger than a telephone box? NO.

[Raak] Uses power? NO.

[Graham III] Artistic pretentions? YES. *applause*

[Raak] Damien Hurst? NO.

[CdM] Typically valued at over £2000? YES.

[irach] YES! (The words on the card are "an authentic Faberge Egg", but that's more than close enough.) Passing over an ovoid, richly bejeweled clockwork baton...

---

[irach] Are you there? It may be time for someone else to take over here...

All right then, a nice quick ABSTRACT in the meantime.

I'd just like to point out that this is the first time I have asked this question.

Humanly constructed? Yes.
P-begun? No.
