Virgin and child

Polychrome cylindrical vase with a flat base. The surface is divided into three horizontal bands, the central one being the narrowest of the three. Each band is decorated with tetrapetaled flowers in black and orange. The color scheme alternates: the upper and lower bands feature black flowers on an orange slip, while the central band is painted black with the floral silhouettes left in the natural color of the slip, in a stencil-like technique. The entire composition is framed by a red horizontal band above and below the rim, as well as an additional horizontal band encircling the base.

Alabaster or Marble Vase with Zoomorphic Handles

Gypsum is an evaporite mineral most commonly found in layered sedimentary deposits in association with halite, anhydrite, sulfur, calcite, and dolomite. Gypsum is very similar to Anhydrite. The chemical difference is that gypsum contains two waters and anhydrite is without water. Gypsum is the most common sulfate mineral.

Gypsum uses include: manufacture of wallboard, cement, plaster of Paris, soil conditioning, a hardening retarder in portland cement. Varieties of gypsum known as "satin spar" and "alabaster" are used for a variety of ornamental purposes; however, their low hardness limits their durability.
