Rasp Berry

Nice renessaince courtyard with 8 sculptures of large animal heads originating from roman villa escavations (bull, rhynoceps, elephant, horse..) and lots of roman statues and funeral tables around.

One of the only 8 rare ancient egyptian obelisks in Rome, in opposite to one in villa Borghese park this one is not a roman copy but original. Over the ages it lost height so about 2m of hieroglyphs remain on the very top, attached to more recent bottom addition. There are also inscriprions on the base in latin.
