skeuomorph is a physical ornament or design on an object made to resemble another material or technique. Examples include pottery embellished with imitation rivets reminiscent of similar pots made of metal,[1] or a software calendar application which displays the days organised on animated month pages in imitation of a paper desk calendar.[2]
Simulated woodgrain on automobiles is a skeuomorph, such as this station wagon which uses no actual wood construction

There is a difference between an icon and a real skeuomorph design. How would you represent a pen without drawing the shape of a pen otherwise ?
Skeuomorph is, for example, faux leather on the header in iOS notes http://img.wonderhowto.com/img/13/10/63487286393710/0/iphone...
