Among the various stone arts that have flourished in the country are inlay or crafting works done with marble stones. This craft flourished and peaked during the era of the Mughals in Medieval India, especially after the Taj Mahal's construction. It is believed that initially, during the early 17th century in Italy, minute inlay work was done on different forms of precious stones. This was referred to as Pietra dura, where Pietra stands for stone and Dura stands for anything complicated. The Italians were outstanding in this classic art and held exclusive possession over this art.
