sculptors and decorators in alabaster Explanation: or|na|tì|sta s.m. e f. TS artig., artigiano specializzato in ornati plastici o pittoric De Mauro Dictionary http://www3.wordreference.com/it/definition/frames.asp?it=or... ca|va|tó|re s.m. 1 CO chi in una cava è addetto agli scavi per l’estrazione di pietre o altri materiali 2 BU estens., chi scava fossi o trincee; zappatore 3 BU tartufaio The reason I chose Sculptors for "cavatori" is because the alabaster stone is a precious material that not many normal carvers would use. Mostly artists use alabaster to manufacture art workpieces ....
