Hand Mirror made in technic "Pietra dura." Can be used as a photo frame. Pietra dura (Italian: [ˈpjɛːtra ˈduːra]) or pietre dure [ˈpjɛːtre ˈduːre] (see below), is a term for the inlay technique of using cut and fitted, highly polished colored stones to create images. It is considered a decorative art. The stonework, after the work is assembled loosely, is glued stone-by-stone to a substrate after having previously been "sliced and cut in different shape sections; and then assembled together so precisely that the contact between each section was practically invisible". Stability was achieved by grooving the undersides of the stones so that they interlocked, rather like a jigsaw puzzle, with everything held tautly in place by an encircling frame. It first appeared in Rome in the 16th century, reaching its full maturity in Florence. Pietra dura items are generally crafted on green, white or black marble base stones.

Pietra dura (Italian: [ˈpjɛːtra ˈduːra]) or pietre dure [ˈpjɛːtre ˈduːre] - является термином для техники инкрустации использования сильно отшлифованных цветных камней для создания изображений (вырезать и устанавливать). Применяется в декоративном искусстве. После того, как работа собрана, нарезанные на различные формы камни собраны вместе так, чтобы контакт между каждым камнем был практически невидимым, на подложку приклеивают камень-на-камень. Стабильность достигалась блокировки камней, камни собирались как головоломки. Впервые техника появилась в Риме в 16-м веке, достигнув полной зрелости во Флоренции. Как правило, твердые каменные изделия изготавливаются базе зеленых, белых или черных мраморных камней.
