Ercolano art in wood - Zig Zag Playing Card Box with Pencil Holder In-laying woodwork is, before a decoration technique, an art. In Sorrento it is handed down from generation to generation, following the craft tradition and renewing itself thanks to the constant study and experimenting. To make an inlaid wood object means to lock pieces of thin wood of different colours and qualities together, in order to obtain a colour sense contrast from which the images come out.
