It allows for intricate details without requiring hard tools, making it ideal for indoor figures, reliefs, and decorative pieces. Historically, it was used in Egypt, Mesopotamia, and later in medieval Europe for religious icons. Today, it's popular in modern and Native American art for its warm glow and color variations (white, orange, green).\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Antique American Indian Art","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46014548443301,"sku":"250904-004AB","price":400.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0718\/6071\/5685\/files\/250904-004AB_1.jpg?v=1762983723","url":"https:\/\/antiqueamericanindianart.com\/products\/pair-of-alabaster-sculptures","provider":"Antique American Indian Art","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
