 Hair brush. This is my first Challenge here and i tried to stump the viewers as much as i could by changing the position of the brush, avoiding to show the lower part of it which have a curve that shown easily what the object was.
I improvised some objects to have a good position and light, including a lantern, hehe. And i had my girlfriend's opinion for the idea!
Anyway, i don't expect much because it's my first try here but i'm really excited to be in this curious challenge and i'll be glad to read sugestions.

Not exactly a stumper. Good DOF rescues an otherwise middle-of-the-pack image.

Definitely looks like the tines of a brush lit from the side. The perspective is cool but the lighting has too much of a yellowish hue for my taste. Just commenting for now.

hairbrush is my guess

white balance is a little off....unless you were going for the glowing yellow of a close fire

Hmm ... hairbrush? It does look like matches, though, so kudos for that.

i'm not a fan of your background. if it would be lit, the blurred 'matches' would detach from it.

My hair always looks a mess in the morning! Would a hairbrush help? Nice shot, but a different background would have helped its appeal.

The lighting seems to harsh on the (brush?) If there is any way you can use multiple lights, lamps, etc... I think that would help to give the photo more dimension.

This hairbrush DOES look like a matchstick garden!
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Looks like a hairbrush. The DOF is a little too shallow, it looks like none of the "match heads" are entirely in focus. I'm also not real fond of the orange hue.

No vote, just guessing...

Looks like soft plastic or rubber, but I'm not sure what.
