    It's about 12 in tall the bottom of the base I'd say it's probably maybe 4 in wide the sphere is probably about 5 to 6 inches maybe?

    Mine either - says the woman wearing the size 13 sneakers.... I think this is actually a hangs-around-gathers-dust. Also suitable for whacking people about the head and shoulders if necessary.

    Welcome to our forum Tricia!! :happy::happy:

    First of all ignore the man behind the curtain with the big feet. He is our lovable looney uncle that needs his meds. ;):p:D:D:D:D

    Second of all, do you know what it is made of or could you describe the material. It could be just a do dad as Johnny has said, but it would make a great hat stand.

    That layered bone thing going on with the ball very much reminds me of the 80's/Ralph Lauren look.Remember all the bone boxes,picture frames,etc ? Can we see the bottom?

    What is it made out of? Looks like stone or marble. Looks like the sphere is separate or has been attached, no?
