Observations on a sacred something

[solo]

I've been staring at this object for waayyyyy too long. #subtitles It doesn't look like any tree-based substance to me, but rather like a deformed plastic dinosaur that someone stuck some (fake?) watercress on.

Also, can I just say that I giggle a little hysterically whenever I type 'Sacred Wood'? I am clearly twelve. But I do wish I could come up with a different term. Sacred twig sounds disrespectful, and it's hardly a branch. The hanzi is 木, which makes 'wood' eminently suitable; this is not a translation problem, it's a 'Solo's mind is in the gutter' problem.
