What is this? #21

            This is not a B&W image.

As usual it is best to view on a monitor as big as possible.........

Disclaimer: This will not be found in every home, but enough people will/should be able to identify it to warrant it being used as a "What is this?"

Some people will recognize this as they have one, or more, or something similar.
Others might have seen one and know what it is.
Others might be completely mistaken about what it is........

Having said that, I am really looking forward to your interpretation of what this is!

Take a look and then take your best shot at what this is!

Your correct, wild, imaginative, out of the box and out of this world guesses are being looked forward to. 😁
Post as many guesses as you like!

As usual the answer will be posted in a few days' time. Enjoy!

Edited 2021/05/29 to add the answer.
This is the flash head (light emitting unit) of an external flash, aka a Speedlight (Nikon), Speedlite (Canon) or flash gun (other manufacturers).
