Gold Egyptian Obelisk. The obelisk, called TEJEN in the sacred language of the ancient Egyptians, was a term which was synonymous with "protection" or "defense." The needle of stone had the function of perforating the clouds and dispersing negative forces that always threaten to accumulate, in the form of visible storms or invisible ones, and was placed over the temple as a symbol of a petrified ray. The word "Obelisk" comes from the Greek obeliskos, meaning a prong for roasting. It is a stone that is frequently monolithic, of a quadrangular base, placed upright and ending with a pointed top. Each Egyptian item is finished in bright golds, reds, blues and blacks, colours typically associated with Egyptian imagery. Each item comes packaged individually. Detailed Dimensions: Height 19cm, Width 4cms, Depth 4cms
