Is there some experiment you can do that shows some 'physical realityness' that the mathematical object can't describe?

If not, then whose to say whether the mathematical object is 'real' or just a perfect description? Is the difference meaningful?

Yes, the difference is absolutely critical. Being unable to differentiate imaginary from real is a serious mental disorder.
