Story Behind the Art
Made in the same workshop for the past 12 years. Mr. Mahmoud Abdel Nabi was born in the Egyptian countryside and moved to Cairo at an early age. Mr. Abdel Nabi has worked in the field of marble, alabaster and stone for most of his adult life.
Alabaster products are manufactured by hand, using alabaster from every commercial quarry in Egypt. Alabaster is a natural, translucent marble which can vary in color from a clear lemon color to a rich shade of mango orange or even a very light cafe au lait. Each piece will be unique and variation from the photo should not be considered a flaw.

I have bought three of these globe votives. They are beautiful and give off a soft, warm, glow when lit. I have also given them for gifts. However, the last globe I bought was cracked and I have now have the hassle of returning it. I have one in my office and keep a candle lit in it all the time. I have received many, many compliments. I would have given it 5 Plus stars if the last votive hadn't arrived cracked.

This product was exactly as described. It is very well made. Heavy, genuine material, really made my mom feel like egyptian royalty for having it as a mothers day gift! It was a little pricey but well worth it. The light that illuminates from it when placing a candle inside creates an ambiance that I have never seen before. A truly unique and beautiful work of art!

Overall, I was pleased. I was a bit suprised in the actual size and color of the Votives due to lack of sizing information (besides the words "large") and the darkness of the picture (they are much lighter orange than depicted). Also, there was no slip with the delivary that reminded me what I ordered. (i.e. When I received the votives, I remembered they were "votives" from "Egypt" but I didn't remember they were made of Alabaster when asked). Thus, it would be nice to have an information slip and more spec information for future purchases.
Liked this round votive, but thought it would be larger. Think it is a bit overpriced because of size. Very heavy, and colors are more brown and white, not as photo indicated. Please, Overstock, show truer colors. That would help when ordering items to go with our color schemes.
