Inner Pyramid by Ray Howlett 1985
Ray Howlett is an American artist, known for his geometric sculptures in light and dichroic glass. Each sculpture is unique, which accounts for the differences between the Inner Pyramid used in Star Trek and the sculpture in the 4th image. Howlett’s sculpture was used in the second part of The Next Generation two-part episode, “Unification,” as set dressing for Romulan Proconsul Neral’s office. When this episode was originally released, the face of a boom operator in the production crew could be seen reflected in the sculpture. This was edited out when The Next Generation was remastered, but not before many fans had a good laugh about it. Special thanks to Ray Howlett for answering my questions about the piece and for providing the photograph in the 4th image.
