It is an awesome puzzle sculpture called Frabjous by George Hart. It's made up of 30 identical laser cut acrylic pieces, and I chose it in this really nice looking frosted design.

It's a little tricky but not too difficult to assemble. For the sake of $30 I advise you to go get one!

That does look good Oli

Hmmm do I don't I?

I'd say go for it. Having one myself they're fun to put together, and look great. I also have the frosted version, but there's a few different finishes available. Shipping to the US is $5, but not sure about outside the US.

A lot of them are hollowed out and squished. Some are shaved carefully and shoved. Sometimes the glass is heated.

Fun things to put together, impossible to talk apart.

Indeed!

This golf ball hasn't been modified as far as I can tell. It certainly isn't hollow.
