Freaky but... How does one get chocolate out of such a mold? Mine are a
flexible plastic so you can pop them out.

Tempered chocolate should come right out with a slight tap if needed...

Might not have been a mold for Easter or chocolate; it could have been a
mold for pagan religious candles. Wasn't there a hare-headed faun in
some ancient mythology? (I know that there was something like that in
Babylonian mythology, and I think there was a hare-headed faun in both
ancient English and Thelemic mythologies.)

It reminds me of a character in an old book we had kicking around our
house. Might have been one of my mother's from the 30's or her
father's from around 1910. Pinocchio before Disney got ahold of it?
Alice in wonderland? Both were pretty grotesque by today's
standards.

That's right. Tempered chocolate shrinks a little
when it solidifies. Untempered chocolate doesn't
shrink much at all, so it doesn't come out nearly
so easily.

When I looked at it I immediately thought of Alice in Wonderland.
Having seen pencil erasers in the shape of Chu'thulu I though the
rabiit/human chimera was strange but far from the weirdest I've seen.

That's pretty strange. I would attribute it to the odd angle,
which frequently presents problems, but that does not seem to be
the case here.

Funny. I was missing another attribute. I wonder why?

The designer is thinking that some people will bid on anything.

Speaking of grotesque - my first-remembered book about Cinderella (a
Grimm's fair tales, if I recall correctly) had the ugly stepsisters
cutting off parts of their feet so they could wear the glass slippers.

A lot of that kind of stuff ends up on the walls of restaurants and
stores. That creepy mold would fit in well in a chocolate store in a
touristy area. Probably with a price tag on it.

Yup. The non-Disneyfied versions of the old folk-tales aren't pretty.

Exactly! I remember Bluebeard as a pretty creepy story also.

I remember that version of Bluebeard, too - spine-tingling when I was
young.

Ah yes. The fairy tales have been watered down a lot.

It is so weird. The designer's thinking is somewhat different.

Sold for $159.49. I thought being weird and unusual
would fetch a good price.

Old Christmas ornaments bring a high price too. Several years ago we
went to a box sale in Wisconsin. They had lots of old ornaments. We
spent 25 bucks on them and a bunch of other stuff. We kept about two
thirds of what we bought and got well over $500 for the rest of it.
