We study thermodynamic properties of an Ising model of a ferromagnetic nanoscopic pyramid deposited onto a ferromagnetic bulk substrate. The influence of the interaction between the pyramid and the substrateis calculated in terms of the reduced-state (density) operator used for description of thermodynamic properties of nanoscopic systems. The spatial distribution of the magnetization in the nanoscopic pyramid is obtained in the molecular field approximation.
