Marble inlay craft, also known as "Pietra Dura," is a highly skilled and intricate art form that involves the delicate placement of semi-precious stones onto a marble base to create stunning patterns, images, and designs. This ancient technique originated in the 16th century in Florence, Italy, and has since been perfected and practiced in various parts of the world, including the city of Agra in India.

A gorgeous yellow Jaisalmer stone border outlines the composition in the most beautiful way.
