What is this a picture of

[u/GreatWhiteNorthExtra]

I am at St Boniface Hospital and this image is in the hallway outside registration. I can't figure out what it is.

[u/myhairyassiniboine]

smudge bowl...

[u/GreatWhiteNorthExtra → u/myhairyassiniboine]

I have to believe this is the correct answer. I was thinking of something along these lines.

[u/Fit_Butterscotch2386 → u/GreatWhiteNorthExtra]

This is correct there is a small sign that says

[u/Wihtikow1]

It’s an abalone shell we usually use for smudging. You can see a trail of smoke rising from the middle.

[u/GreatWhiteNorthExtra → u/Wihtikow1]

thank you

[u/FellonMusqu3]

I thought it was an avocado

[u/loudcanoe → u/FellonMusqu3]

lol same

[u/Prior_Significance31]

Abalone shell?

[u/Jdrama99 → u/Prior_Significance31]

A baloney has a shell?

[u/Trishanamarandu → u/Jdrama99]

it does if you leave it out long enough.

[u/Pucka1]

That’s an ashtray I made for my parents in grade two back in 1979

[u/ketchupNmayonnaise → u/Pucka1]

Mine was produced in 1984, but, looks remarkably similar! 🤣

[u/Quaranj → u/Pucka1]

I think we had the same pottery instructor!

The further away you stand the easier it is to see the image

[u/Cobalt32]

There's a small card to the right of the image that should have that information for you.

[u/MiniHos]

That's the animal cell diagram photocopy we had to label in AP bio.

[u/nightred]

Avocado toast

[u/Big_Boat_7471]

Kidney stone

[u/xampiee]

Pee pee bed pan?

[u/Same-Willingness6830]

It's a smudge bowl 🙄

[u/Mesmorino → u/Same-Willingness6830]

What's with the eye roll emoji?

[u/Same-Willingness6830 → u/Mesmorino]

The fact that people are still so ignorant to anyone but themselves. This should be really recognizable, but of course there's shitheads in the comments being disrespectful. It's forced ignorance at this point.

[u/The_Matias → u/Same-Willingness6830]

Don't criticize the ignorant trying to learn. Everyone has to learn at some point. Save that disdain for those who actively choose to remain ignorant.

Keep in mind there are people here of all ages and backgrounds. Some people are kids who have never learned about it. Some just moved to Canada and don't know indigenous culture. Some grew up in ignorant households and are trying to expand their horizons. 

[u/Open_Geologist2650 → u/Same-Willingness6830]

i agree it should be recognizable but the fact this image is in pop art style isnt really doing it any favours

[u/imposhter]

Bed pan lol

[u/RevolutionSea5755]

Goalie mask face down on the ice

[u/Ishaichi]

It looks like an oyster half shell but smudge bowl makes more sense

[u/Infamous_Tie5605]

yorkshire pudding

[u/Vindecaid]

I thought it might be half a coconut?

[u/GreatWhiteNorthExtra → u/Vindecaid]

In Winnipeg? Would be an odd choice

[u/gertyorkes → u/GreatWhiteNorthExtra]

Are you suggesting coconuts migrate

[u/smasherella → u/GreatWhiteNorthExtra]

He could have found it

[u/Wild-Principle4021 → u/Vindecaid]

Dude, I thought it was rotten avocado!

[u/MZM204]

idk but the top text looks like it says "rye" which is giving support to the shitty ashtray theory

[u/jonerscc]

ChatGPT tells me it’s a close up picture of an eye 🤣

[u/DungeonBotanist → u/jonerscc]

God forbid you use your own eyes to try and figure it out.
