AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Pair of obelisks made of extra-quality malachite from the Katanga mines in Congo.
An elegant and sophisticated decor element rooted in historical tradition.
The use of the Malachite obelisk as an ornamental element has very ancient origins.
Malachite has been mined and used since ancient times, with traces dating back over 4,000 years. The peoples of ancient Egypt considered it a sacred mineral, associated with the goddess Hathor.
Originally, obelisks were stone monuments erected by the ancient Egyptians as symbols of power and religious devotion. The very shape of the obelisk represents a ray of the sun frozen in stone, a tribute to the sun god Ra.

Measurement of the individual obelisks.
The result of 504 multiplied by 98 multiplied by 101 is 4,979,592.
503 x 99 x 100
