Hand chiseling the tiles

Hand chiseling the tiles
"Zellige, zelige or zellij (Arabic: [zˈliʑ] (Arabic: الزليج‎‎) or Mosaic is tilework made from individually chiseled geometric tiles set into a plaster base. This form of Islamic art is one of the main characteristics of Berber and Moroccan architecture. It consists of geometrically patterned mosaics, used to ornament walls, ceilings, fountains, floors, pools and tables."
