Mosaic

Mosaics are images created by setting many small pieces of glass, stone, or other materials (called tessera) into a surface — and they're one of the oldest forms of artwork in the world. Mesopotamian mosaics have been found dating to 3000 BCE, and mosaics were a cornerstone of interior design and architecture in Ancient Greece, Rome and all over the Islamic world.
