Ultramarine Obelisk

$305.00

In ancient Egypt, obelisks were associated with the sun god Ra, and the obelisk form was created to represent a petrified ray of the sun. Herodotus was among the first to describe these forms, coining the term obelisk from the Greek obelus, or 'pointed pillar'. Obelisks continue to fascinate, and small-scale models crafted in a wide range of materials are prized by collectors across the globe. This desk-scaled models pay homage to this tradition, and we hope they'll in turn spark curiosity for generations to come.

Dimensions: 14" tall, 2¾" wide at the base

Price is inclusive of tax.

About Parvum Opus

Parvum Opus is an atelier-style artist’s studio founded by Erika Stefanutti and located outside of Detroit, Michigan specializing in handmade decorative objects and home furnishings, including shadow boxes and cameos evocative of classic curiosity cabinets.

Their name is inspired by the Latin term for a small work by an artist (Parvum: little, a trifle; Opus: an artistic work), and perfectly describes their approach to each project they undertake: small things, beautifully done.
