If the middle is getting rotten, I think I'd just cut it in half and try to cut pieces that resemble small bowl or platter blanks. They're likely to be pretty small and shallow, but I'll bet you find some cool figure inside.

You could send it to me :D Looks like you may be able to get a nice little bowl out of the center,pretty hard to say without seeing it.
