The slab of stone about 3/4 to 1 inch deep has had to be first drilled and then each hole shaped in order to achieve the overall design. Hard to believe, but time could not have been a factor. Workers hopefully would talk, laugh and relax as they did their craft work.

If I have to choose 16 items of living of mine, they would be.... : My Eos camera (with lenses, is that OK?), My Mac computer (with backup hard drive, is that OK?), my chop-sticks (with fork, spoon and knife, is that OK?), my bowl, my basic clothes, my basic underwear (with pajama), pot & pan, mobile, a mug cup, a pen, wallet, a bag, a pair of shoes, printer (with paper), chapstick, aaand my husband.
