    1936 Words  | 8 Pages

    Introduction Alabaster name may derive further from the Ancient Egyptian word alabaste, which refers to vessels of the Egyptian goddess Bast, who was represented as a lioness and frequently depicted as such when placed atop these alabaster vessels. It has been suggested that the name was derived from the town of Alabaster on in Egypt, while an arabic etymological origin has also been suggested by Harrell, 1990 [1]. Travertine also is commonly referred to as alabaster in the Egyptological literature, with this term being derived from alabastrites, the ancient Roman name for the stone [2]. The technically correct name for the Egyptian stone is "travertine" and its dense, non-porous character classifies it as the sub-variety "calcareous sinter". It is very different from the spongy-looking, highly porous "calcareous tufa" from near Tivoli, Italy, which is more closely associated with the name "travertine" in the minds of many archaeologists and art historians.
