Garden obelisks
Flower Pots home>garden statues>
The obelisk, called TEJEN in the sacred language of the ancient Egyptians, was a term which was synonymous with "protection" or "defense."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. It was placed in the center of large open spaces in the temples of the solar god RA. As a general rule, obelisks were erected in pairs and served to magically protect the temple.
Garden obelisks add height and act as focal points in a garden setting.
