<skos:note xml:lang="en">Standard mosaic technique using small cubes of uniform size known as tesserae, made of hard materials such as stone and glass, applied to a ground to form ornamental patterns and pictures. While opus tessellatum was initially a cheap substitute for finer mosaic work executed in opus vermiculatum, it eventually became the dominant technique and remained so throughout the Middle Ages.</skos:note>
