Wood painting-Inlay "Guard Your Love".

Beautiful work, 50+ years young.

Intarsia (in Russian - интарсия, in English - intarsia, in German - intarsien) is a type of inlay - decoration of wooden objects by embedding wooden plaques of different textures and colors into their base surface. Intarsia appeared in ancient Egypt. Masters in ancient Greece and Rome reached a high level of craftsmanship. Ancient Greeks used intarsia in the decoration of sarcophagi. Greeks also began using wood toning before embedding it into mosaics. Gift, with an inscription on the other side - a wish.
