Le Knobelisk (The Knobelisk) is a sculpture of an obelisk located at Middle Park, Liberty City in Grand Theft Auto IV.
Description
Le Knobelisk is a large sculpture consisting of a tall obelisk standing upright, and two smaller square shapes positioned askew on both sides of the obelisk, making the crude shape of male genitalia. The sculpture was made in 2007 (a year before Grand Theft Auto IV's events took place) by a C. Shutchomout, according to a plate on its base.
The sculpture's name is a portmanteau of the words obelisk and knob.
It is situated in Middle Park, by the Pizza Restaurant. The statue is the only one in the game that has the be ability to be broken, what could indicate that it is made of a fragile material.

Trivia
- In the mission Meltdown, it plays a rather important role, since Luca Silvestri, Joseph DiLeo and Johnny Barbosa go through the statue before crashing their Lokus to the floor below, while escaping from Niko Bellic.
- The statue is just very similar to Cock Rock in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, which is another example of Rockstar's sexual humour and innuendos.
- The artist's name is an obvious play on the phrase 'shut your mouth.'
