This is an iconic German Stielhandgranate (specifically resembling the Model 1916 or Model 1924), a type of military hand grenade used extensively during World War I and World War II. It is famously nicknamed the “potato masher” due to its distinctive shape.
Had to look it up since I’m not well versed in WWI / WWII German equipment.

“domestic” grenade, see the granny knew it was for household tasks 😆
Its those foreign, import grenades that cause problems.
I hope someone got this lady the tools she needs. Unsure by image of this was posthumous.
