Red Alabaster Dish

Carved by hand from Luxor-mined alabaster, this earthy toned red alabaster dish carries the legacy of Egyptian artisanship. Alabaster has been shaped into vessels and dishes for thousands of years, valued for its smooth texture, soft translucence, and durability. Unlike more porous stones, alabaster does not absorb liquids, making it an ideal surface for holding herbs, resin, or wood for smoldering, as well as small treasures, jewelry, or ritual offerings.
 
Each piece is shaped with traditional tools, following the natural lines of the stone to enhance its unique veining and depth of color. The result is a weighty, grounding object that feels as ancient as the land it comes from. Whether placed on an altar, desk, or bedside table, it serves both a functional and intentional purpose—offering a space to hold what is sacred, useful, or simply beautiful in daily life.
 
This is a unique piece, only one available.
