A skittle is one of the pins used in skittles - a British form of ninepins, in which a wooden disk or ball is thrown to knock down the pins.
The skittle could also have been used as a juggling prop.
A turned timber skittle turned on a lathe. Its widest point is just above the base, and there are three turned decorative features on the widest section, and a round knob at the other end.
