Certosina
Certosina is a decorative art technique of inlaying used widely in the Italian Renaissance period. Similar to marquetry, it uses small pieces of wood, bone, ivory, metal, or mother-of-pearl to create inlaid geometric patterns on a wood base.[1] The term comes from Carthusian monasteries (Certosa in Italian, Charterhouse in English),[2] probably the Certosa di Pavia, where the technique was used in ornamenting an altarpiece by the Embriachi workshop.[3]
