Can anyone tell me what this might be? Belongs to a friend of mine who lives in Belgium.

(I know there will be funny answers, but a correct one or reasonable guesses would be greatly appreciated)

Puzzle seems likely, especially because of the French word "casse-tête" (literally, "break-head"). And, if you can't solve it, you can always whack your little sister with it...
