Alabaster vases from Cyprus, Semiprecious Stone (M.15.23)

Two broken pieces of pale stone, probably from a vase, on a grey backdrop — Photograph: Swedish Cyprus Expedition, 1927–31. Medelhavsmuseet, Stockholm, C02698e. Public domain (CC0).

Description

Two irregular fragments of pale, granular stone with dark speckles and darker edges lie on a plain grey backdrop. The larger piece is at the lower centre and a smaller, more broken piece sits at the upper right. Their shapes do not show a clear vessel form, and there is no scale or label in the frame.
