These are one of the families employed to do repairs on the Taj. We watch a demonstration of the style of inlay work done. They chisel a recess in the marble, and then glue carved pieces of semiprecious stones into place to make detailed patterns. The particular glue used to keep these stones from falling out after 400 years, is a family secret, handed down from father to son.
Sarah is tempted to get a benchtop made out of this stuff for our kitchen. So hard, it won't scratch. Watch this space, if I start doing overtime, then she may have started doing the maths.
And of course, Sarah did some shopping in another department. Clothes, of course! Taking one for the team.
