Features of an Appreciation Obelisk

This award monument consists of a four-sided tapering pillar mounted on a wide foundational base. An emblem in the shape of a heart is positioned prominently on the front facing of the pillar.

Origins of Obelisk Architecture

Ancient Egyptians originally carved tall obelisks from single blocks of granite to honor sun deities and mark important monuments. These monolithic stone pillars feature four flat sides that narrow gradually toward a pointed apex. In modern awards design, the geometric silhouette of an obelisk represents enduring gratitude and perseverance.
