Why Eggs?

I stole this picture from my friend Lamia's facebook photo album; she's studying abroad in Italy, and what should she find? A strange large egg thing hanging from the art building. One of my first posts addressed "Egg for Pauline" which hangs in front of the Chapman art building. Is this a mascot we don't know about? Weird.


This is the Italian egg thing.


This is the American egg thing.
