With the continuous improvement of the technological level, natural colored stone, pebble, shell, mother of pearl, gem, jade, artificial glass, ceramics, wood and so on have become the raw materials for inlaying. In the long-term development process, mosaic art has accumulated many important technical means, mainly including direct mosaic method, prefabrication method, reverse mounting method, positive mounting method and so on. In addition to plane inlay, it can also be inlaid on relief, which can further enhance the stereo sense of the inlaid object.
