Agra is known for it's marble inlay art
and this time I got the chance to see how it's done
I got to see the artists in action
this is what they work with...semiprecious stones and white, green or black marble
carnelian, mother pearl, black stone, lapis, turquoise etc...
never too late to learn something new...quiet interesting actually...
the marble is coloured with henna and the pattern of the inlay is cut out...is it called cut out...
more chiseled out I think...
working at the hand driven sanders...the little stone piece in one hand and the other pulling the sander..
the pieces they work with are so small...
love the lotus flower, the lilly
so many small pieces
when all inlay was in place it's washed down to get all henna out and to get it nice and even...
this man was working in black marble....think this was a buddha
a beautiful table top..difficult to bring home but everything can be shipped to wherever you live in the world...
to be sure you buy the same marble as in the Taj you have to put a light underneath
if you see the light shining through then you know...
love this one...
maybe one day...
when I can afford one !
I did get a little memory from here though
a handmade carnelian bindi !
