Taj Mahal et al - Part 3

Lepas Taj Mahal, pergi tgk cara2 diorang buat corak kat marble kat taj mahal tu... demonstrasi a'la buat papyrus kat mesir dulu... it was kinda neat, the have to shape very small pieces of semiprecious stones, then cungkil marble putih tu utk lekatkan2 stone2 yg bermacam2 kaler tu to make corak2... none is painted... stones come from various parts of the world (not india alone)

Teknik cungkil tahap 1...

Teknik membentuk kepingan semi-precious stones... kesian aku tgk mamat ni struggle nak terjungil mata...

Inilah antara hasil yg dah siap... korang imagine berapa bulan nak siap masterpiece ni (yg ni meja bulat diameter 1 meter kot, and ukiran dia sumer halus2)

Ini plak carpet yg penuh bertatah semi precious stone.... lawa gile aku ingat nak beli for my mum... sekali tgk harga dia INR140,000 (lebih kurg rm12 ribu... pendamkan aja la hasrat tu)
