Carved out of a block of styrofoam after French Enlightenment architect Étienne-Louis Boullée's thrilling visionary design for a funerary monument to Sir Isaac Newton. It was supposed to be bigger than the pyramids. It would have put Epcot to shame. Tragically, it was never built. But a miniature carved out of styrofoam is a bit more doable. So I did it. Had we but world enough and time, I think this would be marketable as a pencil sharpener, with the writing implement entering the small portal. Or, dreaming big like Boullée, I think this would be an awesome plan for a doghouse.
