The Omphalos of Delphi is an ancient marble monument that was found at the archaeological site of Delphi [1]. A version of the omphalos once used in the temple is held in Delphi Archaeological Museum; there is also a simplified copy at the site where it was found [1]. The stone of the omphalos seems to have been decorated in high relief and had an oval shape [1].
