Obelisks:

It has a square base and tapers upwards. The top can be another pyramid, ball or other decoration. The obelisk has three parts; the base, shaft and capital. Some obelisks have an urn on their capital, some have pointy tops. An obelisk can be huge- 90 inches and taller and an obelisk can be much shorter than that.

Obelisk with a cross-vault top:

It has the same base as a regular obelisk, but the top looks like a roof of a church or a house.
