Day 59: And now for something completely different

I think this looked better in my head than it does in person.  I haven't decided if it's my candy bowl for Halloween, a bowl for a person on a diet, or if it's religious piece, AKA a 'Crown of Thorns'.

The thorns are off of a tree I found in the desert behind our house.  As best I can tell it's called a Crucifixion Thorn tree.  It's fairly unique in that it as far as I can tell it doesn't have any leaves.  The spines have a green bark that performs the photosynthesis required for the tree to grow.
