Item Details

Description

Egypt, Late Dynastic Period, 26th to 31st Dynasty, ca. 664 to 332 BCE. A gorgeous example of an alabastron, hand-carved from banded alabaster with colors ranging from a creamy beige to a buttery yellow, that glows when held under light. The drop-form body has a rounded base which is studded with a pair of nubbin-form handles around the shoulder that imbue it with an almost anthropomorphic form. The base of the squat neck is slightly indented, and above sits an integral discoid rim. A sturdy and attractive example of fine Egyptian craftsmanship! Custom museum-quality display stand included. Size: 1.375" W x 3.2" H (3.5 cm x 8.1 cm); 3.875" H (9.8 cm) on included custom stand.

The Egyptians were master carvers, and used the abundant stone deposits in the Nile Valley and the Eastern Sahara throughout their history to fashion sculptures, vessels, and monumental buildings. The perfect symmetry of this example demonstrates their skill. The piece was drilled into, then special tools were used to expand the drilled-upon areas, allowing the walls of the vessel to illuminate when light passed through the stone. The alabastron was a very personal item, used for bathing and holding perfume. As a result, it was frequently buried with its owner.
