Steven Joyce says he has been called many things in his political life and he can now add "egg-head" to the list.
The Minister of Science and Innovation agreed to a request by Herald cartoonist Rod Emmerson to have a likeness of his head made into a giant egg sculpture for charity.
"I think it would have been very difficult for my face to be shaped into an egg but he seems to have managed it," Mr Joyce said.
The "Mr Fix-It Egg" is one of dozens being exhibited around the country as part of the Starship Foundation's Great Easter Egg Hunt.
Mr Joyce said the Starship hospital was a "great facility" and both his children had benefited from its services.
