Hi, I was wondering if anyone knows what this is (other than a Beholder):

Is it a fan creation? A promo something? Or something else? As far as I know, the sculpt is in bronze... any help would be appreciated, thanks.

I guess no point asking the poor green monkey/teletubby the beholder has obviously already brutalized....

Bronze? That thing must be heavier than hell...How would you hang it... with towing cables? BTW, it is pretty cool. I was trying to gauge its size, not sure from that picture as to its scale.

Can you stick a glass of lager in it? Then it would be a beerholder.

Its approx. 26 pounds, and about 16 inches bottom to top eye.. pretty big and a little heavy. I still wonder who made it

I have no clue who made it or what it might be worth, but it is an awesome sight.

SWEETNESS

My guess though is that it is highly unlikely to simply be a fan creation.
Too much skillful work for that. (My opnion)

Had to be a hired professional job I think and is likely not a unique item, though rare I am sure.

That sculpture rocks.

Those who can, don't. Those who should not, do.
