Alabaster has been utilised for centuries across Europe for carving intricate decorative figures, reliefs, and ecclesiastical artefacts due to its soft texture and translucent quality.

These pieces are typically hand-carved from natural gypsum or calcite alabaster using chisels, files, and abrasives to achieve fine surface details and a smooth finish.

Authentic period pieces often exhibit natural mineral inclusions, microscopic surface wear, and subtle patination consistent with age, alongside traditional hand-carved tool marks.

Placing this object on a minimalist surface, such as a wooden mantelpiece or a console table, allows its tactile material and classical form to serve as a focal point.

Alabaster is water-soluble and relatively soft, so pieces should be cleaned only with a dry, soft cloth and kept away from moisture and direct sunlight.
