KoA image question

[peggy-2.livejournal.com]

I bought the Japanese versions of the books recently and posted some photos of the GORGEOUS art here:

avian_xj has graciously offered to make icons from some of the images, so we've been looking at them quite closely.  Now, QoA and KoA are divided into two volumes each, and most of the images are easy to figure out, but we are stumped as to what the title page of the second KoA volume is a picture of.

Suggestions? Guesses? Is is an instrument, a hairbrush, ????? Give us some ideas : )





and, just because, who else would love to have mwt sign their book with her japanese name?

I think it must be a lamp, at a very strange perspective. Failing that, maybe it's the perfume amphora Attolia smashed, that she flashes back to after she cuts Gen's hand off.

I don't think it is a musical instrument; it has no strings.
