*** About Mosaic Art: A mosaic is a piece of art or image made from the assembling of small pieces of colored glass, stone, or other materials. It is often used in decorative art or as interior decoration. Most mosaics are made of small, flat, roughly square, pieces of stone or glass of different colors, known as tesserae. Some, especially floor mosaics, are made of small rounded pieces of stone, and called "pebble mosaics". Mosaics have a history that stretches back more than 4,000 years, with origins in Mesopotamia. Traditionally, they have been used both as an art form and as a method of storytelling, capturing scenes of historical events, religious themes, or everyday life. Historically significant, these artworks offer insights into the cultural practices and aesthetic preferences of past civilizations.
