alabaster

The remains of the temple of Ptah and of Apis have been uncovered at the site as well as a few statues, including two four-metre ones in alabaster of Ramesses II.

This building is still occupied by the descendants of Giuseppe Viti , a merchant who travelled the world selling Volterra's most famous commodity – alabaster.

The walls were of white alabaster, set here and there with blue and green tiles.

The statue was carved from pure alabaster.
