Marble mosaic is a Damascene craft mastered by artisans. It consists of assembling pieces of various colors, shapes, and sizes into decorative geometric patterns. 

This craft was used to decorate the floors of palaces and pulpits in many mosques, as well as the marble basins for which Damascus was famous and which were exported to palaces and salons in the Gulf and around the world. 

Syrian craftsmen excelled in complex geometric designs using Arabic thread and braids, demonstrating the creative genius of Syrian artisans.
