How to explore new cultures while quarantined
Glassy blue and white coasters sit on Monte Swain’s dining room table in his suburban Utah home, a seemingly far off momento of past adventures abroad. The coasters display the same marble inlay artwork used on the Taj Mahal walls built in the 17th century. Marble inlay was perfected by the Mughal artisans, a delicate process that involves carefully cutting and engraving marble shapes by hand. Swain has held on to these prized souvenirs for their beauty and the memories attached to them from past trips to India.
