An experienced Egyptian craftsman wearing a traditional white turban leans closely over an alabaster tablet, hand-carving a detailed relief figure using a fine carving tool. Alabaster dust is visible across the work surface alongside a pencil used for design sketching, indicating an active in-progress piece. Alabaster carving (نحت الألباستر) is a traditional craft deeply rooted in Upper Egypt (Sa'id Masr), particularly in Luxor, where artisans have produced carved stone decorative pieces and replicas inspired by ancient Egyptian motifs for generations.
