Check Out This Ostrich Egg Squirrel Sculpture

Sheppard’s Irish Acution House offers this unique item for sale. Let’s call it a conversation piece because it will definitely provoke conversation with the next people who visit your office and/or bathroom.

The sculpture is about 9 inches tall and is centered around a preserved ostrich egg. The hungry squirrel is holding what the auction listing describes as a pine nut, but I suspect is actually a polished stone. The silver squirrel, though, doesn’t know any better. He appears to be in a foul mood--most likely as a result.

The head lifts off for storage in the egg’s interior. I suggest using it to store nuts.
