Description

Description

This traditional Indian art form involves meticulously embedding hand-cut semi-precious stones such as marble, lapis lazuli, turquoise, and serpentine. Other precious gems include spiny oyster, coral, and mother of pearl into the stone surface to create floral or geometric patterns.

In many cultures, these statues are symbols of strength, wisdom, and good fortune.
