Plural of alabastron; multiple small stone bottles used in antiquity for storing precious liquids like perfumes and oils.
The English plural of the Greek alabastron, formed by adding -s according to English pluralization rules rather than using the Greek -a ending.
Museums often display whole collections of alabastrons still sealed, and when archaeologists carefully open them after thousands of years, they can sometimes identify the original scent through chemical analysis!
