Trying to figure out if that's a turnip jack o'lantern. If so, it looks to be a little more carve-friendly than the brick-hard purple ones in the supermarket.

I love how the roots are left on.

I love the roots! That would look cool hanging from trees!
I was a bit incredulous as I've never seen a turnip that looks like that (with almost pumpkin-like ridges and furrows seemingly running longitudinally), but I found an image that looks a heck of a lot like that one, still mostly in the ground: http://community.guinnessworldrecords.com/_Giant-Turnip/photo/2221746/7691.html
You'd think with how much I love jacks that I would be more familiar with the veg that started the tradition. Yeah, the roots are great, and I'm digging the long cord suspending it, too.
