Hip joint socket.
This would make a good "mystery object" quiz question.. It is the counterpart of the more familiar artificial hip implant used to replace damaged joints. This image shows the outside of the "cup" that is embedded in the pelvis to provide the socket into which the matching ball at the top of the femur is located. The intricate honeycomb surface of the implant allows bone to grow into the metal forming a very strong bond. Titanium is an excellent material for this purpose due to its lack of toxicity, strength and high resistance to corrosion.
