That's a peppercorn, but what's the thing it's lying on? If it were the size of a beachball then the surface would obviously be carpet, but it doesn't quite look like the texture of any fabric I can immediately think of - most of them have protruding hairs at that scale.
It's the cork from a pleasant bottle of Rioja. The diamond pictures are still awaiting the time and effort to get the best out of them; though my new lens might do a better job, actually, so I might bring it round some time.
