Story Behind the Art:
Hand made alabaster is thousands of years old. It was a lifestyle item for the ancient Pharaohs and has been used for over 5,000 years in many forms. Egyptian alabaster is unique to Egypt, and thought to have been named after the ancient city of Alabastron in Upper Egypt. In contemporary Egypt alabaster is quarried in various areas of the country, and each quarry provides alabaster of varying colors. All are easily worked on a lathe, which requires intense eye/hand coordination.
The handcrafted touch of artisan skill creates variations in color, size and design. If buying two of the same item, slight differences should be expected. Note: Color discrepancies may occur between this product and your computer screen.
