The Luxor Obelisk stands at the center of Place de la Concorde, between the Tuileries and the Champs-Élysées. Cut from yellow granite at Aswan and raised at the entrance to Luxor Temple under Ramesses II, it stood in Egypt for some three thousand years before Muhammad Ali offered it to France. It was reset in the square on October 25, 1836, while two hundred thousand Parisians watched. The traffic comes around it now in two lanes. The gold pyramidion at the top catches the last light over the Seine.

Slowly infused into the ceramic surface under high heat and pressure, in our family studio in Knoxville, Tennessee.
