A tessellated picture is a type of artwork created by arranging small pieces of colored material, such as stone, glass, or ceramic, into a pattern. It is also known as a MOSAIC. The term tessellated comes from the Latin word tessella, which means small square. Mosaics have been used for centuries to decorate walls and floors in homes, churches, and public buildings. They are often used to create intricate designs and patterns that can be both beautiful and meaningful.
