Petra is carved from creamy waxed alabaster, its cylindrical form accentuating the natural striations of the stone. Earthy amber bands may wrap around the surface like sediment layers, while some pieces appear in luminous white. When lit, the stone glows from within, revealing its unique character—whether soft and pale or richly marbled.
Rooted in ancient Egyptian craftsmanship, each Petra holder is shaped by hand in Upper Egypt using traditional tools. The wax finish deepens the stone’s colors and gives the surface a gentle luster, even when unlit.
