The super macro guessing game (5)

I am not certain I understand the question? If you mean is it characteristic of a particular locality, the answer is yes.

Sorry about that. English may be a shared language, but many words have different common usage in different localities. In the USA, at least in the southeast US, the common use of the term "holiday" is probably more what you would know as a "Holy Day." As a general rule, we don't call our traveling vacations holidays as is common in Europe.

By asking if it is related to a holiday, I am referring to one of the holiday seasons (or maybe better to say, Holy Days) such as Christmas, Easter, Ramadan, Yom Yippur, or even a secular day such as Martin Luther King Day, Thanksgiving, Jeûne genevois, etc.

In which case, the answer is no

Is the purpose of this wooden item to hold various dabs of wet paint?

Tell me which one and it is yours!

Ha, no way?! I'm very unprepared with a suitable photo, sorry - I'm happy to let someone else guess and take it!

Looks like a McDonald's coffee cup.

cyanide is 90% of the way there

Sorry, I was looking for rules and just came across a comment that you shouldn't offer an answer before having a photo prepared, so I obviously stuffed up there - apologies.

Anyway, can offer a photo of sorts so my guess is boomerang.

You didn't stuff up. You did the right thing. What messes with other players is to offer an answer that's specific enough to win and then not host the next round. "Australian aboriginal artifact" is general enough that ECC233 didn't declare it the name of the item.

If you post a guess and the host surprises you by deciding that it's close enough to win, and you don't have a macro ready, you can go make one or use a crop of some suitable image you already have.

Voila! Over to you cyanide_

Thanks OhLook and Ecc233.

Photo attached. It's ridiculously late here so if I don't answer after a bit, I've gone to bed and will check in the morning.

Is it painted metal?

yes
