This sterling silver and rock crystal statue was made by our talented Roman artisans, and reproduces a famous monument in Rome. Adjacent to the Pantheon, in front of the Dominican church “Santa Maria Sopra La Minerva” (St.Mary Over Minerva), lies one of the most curious monuments of Rome, the so called “Pulcino della Minerva”, or in english – Minervas Chick. The brilliantly carved and very realistic elephant statue is a gem of famous Gian Lorenzo Bernini who designed it. THE OBELISK The elephant carries the smallest of the 11 Egyptian obelisks you can find in Rome on its back (18ft), an Obelisk said to have been brought from Sais, where it was built in the 6th century BC. In 1665 the small obelisk was found in the back yard of the Dominican monastery by St. Mary’s church. The church was actually not built on a Minerva temple as thought, but on part of the Iseum, an ancient temple dedicated to her Egyptian equivalent goddess Isis. Pope Alexander VII decided to have the obelisk raised in front of the church, and chose a design of an elephant, made by Bernini, because according to thought “…a strong mind is needed to support a solid knowledge”. In the way, the pope rejected a design made by a Dominican priest, father Paglia, who wanted the obelisk in front of his church to be surrounded by statues of dogs...
