AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
This obelisk carved from top-quality lapis lazuli seems to capture the night sky in a single geometric form. The deep blue of the stone, studded with golden veins and natural shading, recalls a starry firmament etched into rock. Lapis lazuli, sacred stone to the pharaohs and precious pigment for Renaissance artists, here comes to life in a sculpture that celebrates the art of nature and the hand of man. The obelisk, emblem of power, memory and vertical aspiration, thus becomes a collectible object that carries with it millennia of history and a timeless aesthetic.
