Descriptions
- Description
- One of eight models for "Broken Obelisk." The model was constructed from four discrete triangles of cardstock paper, which were once taped together to form a model for the pyramidal base of "Broken Obelisk." Stains from adhesive tape run along two edges of each triangle, suggesting that the pieces were once held together to form a pyramid.
