Egyptian Obelisk - Handcarved Soapstone

Incredible Obelisk Statue

Obelisks played a vital role in their religion and were prominent in the architecture of the ancient Egyptians, who placed them in pairs at the entrance of the temples. The word "obelisk" as used in English today is of Greek rather than Egyptian origin because Herodotus, the Greek traveler, was one of the first classical writers to describe the objects. A number of ancient Egyptian obelisks are known to have survived, plus the "Unfinished Obelisk" found partly hewn from its quarry at Aswan. These obelisks are now dispersed around the world, and fewer than half of them remain in Egypt.

Incredible one of a kind Obelisk statue. Carved by a master craftsman in the West Bank of Luxor Egypt, this Obelisk is fit for a Pharaoh.
