I haven't a clue but it sure is pretty. There is a place called the seed site that may be able to help you with your ID.

looks like nutmeg (the seed) and mace (the red covering)
Myristica fragrans

Helping the world one seed at a time

When weeding, the best way to make sure you are removing a weed and not a valuable plant is to pull on it. If it comes out of the ground easily, it is a valuable plant. Mary Ann LaPensee

agree with nutmeg with the mace still attached.

you use each one separately (usually, unless a recipe calls for each). you can remove the mace from the nutmeg - leave each one whole until needed for a recipe and then grind as much as is needed.
