alabaster artifacts
Alabaster artifacts are objects made from a soft, translucent stone called alabaster, which is often composed of calcite or gypsum. Historically valued for its smooth texture and aesthetic qualities, alabaster has been used to craft sculptures, vessels, and decorative items since ancient times. Its ability to be finely carved makes it ideal for detailed artwork and cultural relics. Due to its relatively easy workability, alabaster has played a significant role in various civilizations, including Egyptian, Greek, and Middle Eastern cultures, often serving as a material for both functional objects and artistic expression.
