What is this thing someone on Discord found in the woods?

It looks like they’re in the dark taking a picture with the phone “flash”. Any chance of getting pictures in better lighting and not holding it so there’s less blur?

Here’s a slightly improved picture:

Here’s some other photos she took.

Well now I’m confused because it looks like there’s…a log (??) sticking out of the bottom of it?
She asked her dad and he said it’s a weird garden decoration he had that got knocked over and rolled down a hill into the woods. I don’t know what would compel someone to buy something like this for people to look at but I’m not gonna judge.
If there’s one thing I’ve learned through a life of wandering the New England woods with metal heads and punks, it’s that there’s no accounting for the weird shit that some people think is cool. Thanks for following up, though!
