The famous stone inlay (pietre dura) work at the taj mahal in Agra, India. The starting point for such stonecraft are thin sheets of various (semiprecious) stone, from which the artisan creates delicate shapes. Only a hand-powered grindstone is used. Each shape is ground individually and must fit precisely without any gaps. Once a perfect fit has been achieved, the marble plate, into which the ornamental pattern will be integrated, is covered with a layer of henna paint. The single pieces that make the inlay pattern are laid out on the marble plate and their outlines scratched into the surface. The orange color serves as an orientation when carving out the individual grooves, into which the semiprecious stone pieces will be glued.
