| No clue but that thing looks like a mass of boogers that someone sculpted into an ugly alien with huge ears and bad fashion taste. |

I actually spent about 30 seconds looking for a maggot in that pic.
Does it have shakey hands then this thing? |

I gotta agree with you on this, it is fucking hideously ugly, there is no accounting for some people's taste.

| I don't really care what Bowenite or Magot is. I wouldn't pay $1 for that thing. It is uber nasty looking! |

It's supposed to be ugly, I guess.
Magot: A fanciful, often grotesque figurine in East Asian style rendered in a crouching position
Bowenite is found in several places throughout the world, notably in Rhode Island where in 1966 it was adopted as the state mineral. Other known sources include Afghanistan, China, New Zealand, and South Africa. Low demand and low world prices have made it uneconomical to mine.

Bowenite = Laurence Llewellyn Bowen, which explains why it's so fuck ugly.
Well that's my guess anyway. |

Bowenite was named by James D. Dana in 1850 for George T. Bowen, who analyzed it in 1822. |

So, if it's Faberge, can you take the head off and it's filled with Brut?
Do they still make Brut? |
