Pier Ferrari at the University of Parma, Italy, and colleagues finally proved the old saying "monkey see, monkey do":
Pier Ferrari at the University of Parma, Italy, and colleagues tested 21 newborn macaques by holding each in front of a researcher who made various facial expressions.
At one day old, none of the infants showed any imitation. By day three, however, infants started to copy the researchers’ expressions, including tongue protrusions, mouth opening and lip smacking – all typical macaque expressions.
>>4 Really? I think it's a concave surface on the top to fit on the eye, with the extension on the back to partially block the eyelids from closing and to fit the light. With this mechanism you'll maybe be able to keep your victim from sleeping (due to the intense light) and ultimately dry out the eyes leading to permanent damage of the eyes.
An optical condenser/magnifier. The diameter is almost the same as the diagonal of a 35mm negative or slide so i'll guess it is used to transfer light from a lamp to the film.
A voble resonator, used to communicate with the deceased by mystics. Unlike other gimmicks, this one actually works. The unfortunate truth is, the dead say very little that is of use to the living.
"Uncle Benjamin, where did you bury the money?"
'oooo-ooooo, I'mmmmm deeeead, ooooo'
"Its me your nephew Charley, where is the money uncle Benjamin?
ok, what it looks like to me is a light magnifier.
i saw something like it only a pyramid shaped one. below deck on old ships it was dark. and this may be one of those things that worked like a mini sky light. you put the narrow end above to catch the light and the wide end to disperse it below.
Much as chris stated above, it is a condenser, but what he neglected to mention is that its more important purpose is to even out a field of light, dispersing any hotspots or dark areas that may result from imperfections in the light bulb, reflector, or lensing system.

I think "Bobby the K" has identified it, except he has it the wrong side up. The big end should go up and the small end down, to bring light below deck on an old wood ship.

see? that wasn't so hard.

And so on.

actually, maybe a small coffee table, or end table of some sort?
