The Story Behind The Art
Oriental alabaster has been crafted in Egypt since ancient times, into works of art and utilitarian items. Handcrafting alabaster continues to be an art among many artisans. Our artisans, despite working with limited and dated equipment, are able to turn out wonderful items, relying on their hand/eye coordination and skill. Alabaster boulders provide the bulk of alabaster for artisans, and these have to be reduced to manageable blocks in order to be worked. The availablility of marble, granite and a myriad of other stones has made Egypt a center for marble workmanship for thousands of years.
Please note: marble may vary in color but not in translucency
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.
