    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?

    Figtree3 What would you do if you weren't afraid?

    I can't believe none of you know what this is.

    It is a world Globe on a stand. That world being Jupiter
