alabaster figurines

Alabaster figurines are small sculptures crafted from alabaster, a soft, translucent mineral known for its smooth texture and ability to hold fine detail. Historically, artisans have used alabaster to create detailed carvings and decorative objects, especially in ancient Egypt, the Middle East, and Europe. These figurines often depict deities, humans, animals, or everyday scenes, serving as religious, artistic, or funerary items. Their appealing appearance and workability made alabaster a popular material for artisans seeking to produce intricate, durable, and aesthetically pleasing sculptures.
