The Egyptians carved and placed stone obelisks at temple entrances to represent sun rays in honor of the Sun God, Ra.
The Romans took a fancy to the Egyptian design, resulting in the placement of obelisks throughout the Roman Empire.
The concept of the obelisk has influenced cultures around the world, including those in South America, France, Italy, United States of America, and Ethiopia.
This pair of obelisks will suit many classical interiors.
