点评:Our family was visiting the Taj Mahal and after the tour the Guide asked if we wanted to see craftsmen who are still keeping alive the skills to create artistic stonework similar to the Taj Mahal.
We visited a gallery where they had (4) craftsmen working to demonstrate the skills needed to create the delicate stone and marble inlayed artwork. I'm an Architect and have see a great deal of craftsmen at work, but nothing like the "jewelry - like" stone inlay work that they were making. It was both fascinating and unbelievable!
The gallery was filled with an amazing array of stone artwork pieces for every budget. We were drawn to an elegant, curved vase with delicate curving inlayed floral stonework. We couldn't even image how difficult the vase was to fabricate out of a solid piece of white marble (similar to the Taj Mahal) and then inlaying the surface with the delicate stone pieces to create the beautiful floral patterns on the vase.
The price of the stone vase was fair and the shipping to the United States was included. The stone vase arrived in perfect condition and is now proudly displayed in our home on an illuminated base, which makes the vase glow! (see photos)

翻译:我们一家人正在参观泰姬陵,参观结束后,导游问我们是否想看看仍然保留着创造与泰姬陵类似的艺术石制品技能的工匠。
我们参观了一家画廊,那里有 (4) 名工匠正在展示制作精致的石头和大理石镶嵌艺术品所需的技能。我是一名建筑师,见过很多工匠在工作,但没有什么比他们制作的“类似珠宝”的石材镶嵌作品更好的了。这既令人着迷又令人难以置信!
画廊里摆满了各种令人惊叹的石材艺术品,适合各种预算。我们被一个优雅的弧形花瓶所吸引,花瓶上镶嵌着精致的曲线花卉石雕。我们甚至无法想象用一块坚固的白色大理石(类似于泰姬陵)制作花瓶,然后在表面镶嵌精致的石块,在花瓶上创造出美丽的花卉图案是多么困难。
石花瓶的价格很公道,并且包括运往美国的运费。石花瓶到达时状态完美,现在自豪地展示在我们家里的发光底座上,这使得花瓶闪闪发光! (见照片)
