A pear!

Square renovation bears fruit - The Boston Globe:
And it's not just any pear, said Laura Baring-Gould, the Somerville artist who created the piece. It's a Clapp pear -- a plump and juicy variety originally cultivated in the 1800s in Dorchester by the Clapp family, she said.
Not just any pear indeed. Plump, indeed. But juicy? The thing's made out of bronze. Weighs 10 tons. Costs...well never mind. Just be assured you're not likely to want a pair.
