I was impressed and awed by some of the elaborate architectural details carved in sand stone and marble, inlaid stone techniques, and carved details on palaces, walls, stone elements, and carved marble objects.
This is a small selection, I would like to share with you.

The lattice work carved out of marble on some of the tombs and palaces is just incredible.
So many busy hands have created such masterpieces. Enjoy seeing them.
