a whalebone carving on a little plastic stand. shaped a bit like a child's drawing of a bell but oddly boxy, it has a crooked face made of crude and extremely mismatched holes that together form a look of benign confusion and maybe a coming sneeze. it has an enormous bellybutton (?) but no other features such as limbs or any earthly explanation. i love him and you do too

What happens in the devolved countries and SW and NE England are insignificant and of no consequence apparently!
