  • Carved from translucent Egyptian alabaster with soft natural banding throughout the stone. The body rises in a gently tapering piriform form, terminating in a slightly inward-curving rim and twin pierced lug handles

    The surface reveals the natural veining and tonal variation of the stone, selected to emphasize the material’s luminous quality
