Item Details
Description
Egypt, Late Dynastic to Ptolemaic Period, ca. 664 to 30 BCE. A set of 2 hand-carved Egyptian alabastrons, so called because the form was originally carved specifically from alabaster.

Alabastrons like these examples were intended to hold cosmetic materials or offerings in a funerary context. Size of larger: 0.95" W x 3.63" H (2.4 cm x 9.2 cm)
