Description from the seller
Lapis Lazuli Obelisk with Marble Internal Structure
Proposed at auction, an imposing decorative obelisk with a solid marble internal structure and entirely clad in premium lapis lazuli, applied with mosaic technique. This is a piece with strong visual impact, characterized by an intense blue hue and the typical golden pyrite inclusions that enrich the surface. Lapis lazuli is a historic and sought-after stone since ancient times, mined for millennia in the famous Afghanistan deposits. Used by the Egyptians for amulets, statues, and royal ornaments, it was considered a symbol of the sky and divinity. The mosaic technique allows a continuous and luminous surface while preserving the stone’s natural colorfulness. The obelisk shape, inspired by ancient Egyptian monuments, represents the ray of petrified sun and symbolizes energy, ascent, and strength. The inner marble guarantees stability, weight, and robustness, making the piece solid and suitable even for prolonged exhibitions. An ideal item for mineral collectors, lovers of decorative art, or interior designers seeking a unique scenographic element.
