It is a small pottery or glass container used to hold oil. Originating from ancient Egypt in the 11th century BC, it was originally a container carved from snowflake plaster, which is also the origin of the name "Alabast Bottle". Over time, this type of container began to be made using more materials besides snowflake gypsum. Most Alabast bottles have a similar shape, with a slender body and a circular bottom. Usually there is an opening with a lip at the top, and there may be small handles on both sides of the container neck.
