Walmina - Paesaggio montano in pietre dure.

Decorative panel made with the inlay of hard stones technique (or Florentine/Italian mosaic), depicting a mountainous landscape with farmhouses, trees, and snow-capped peaks.
Artistic technique: the inlay of hard stones (or hardstone mosaic), which involves cutting and assembling sections of colored marbles, alabaster, and other natural stones to form an image.
