It is usually without a handle, although some examples have short handles (or eyes or lugs) through which a string could be attached. The name is derived from alabaster, the white-ground stone that the earliest examples were carved from. They seem to primarily have been a vessel for perfumed oil, as indicated by scenes on vases depicting it being used by women after bathing., Handle and part of rim disc mended with plaster. Rim chipped. Surface somewhat damaged. Decoration worn. Spotted., H 8.9. Ø 5.3., Riksidrottsmuseet, Stockholm, 1996 - January 1997., H. Payne, Necrocorinthia.
