    Pierced carving is a wood carving technique where geometric patterns are carved out, creating two-dimensional effects while usually remaining at the surface of the original wood. This technique is commonly used to create attractive designs on jail screens, walls, windows, and doors with less labor. These carved designs, called Jalis, give light and ventilation to mosque interiors while the wood is chiseled out of the design and then filed.
