This follows along in the mythological traditions of the planets and their satellites. The benben is a good choice.

Utterance 600, § 1652 of the Pyramid Texts speaks of "Atum as you rose up, as the benben, in the Mansion of the Benu in Heliopolis."

I thought you might like that one particularly. ;)
Washington's Monument has a capping "benben" too. Pyramids are stylized "benbens" as I'm sure you know. Not many of us are aware that this ancient Egyptian religious symbol found its way via Freemasonry onto our currency. :)

Noted. Most folks don't know that. annuit coeptis novus ordo seclorum on the typical $1 bill.
