The flag is similar to that of Sudan and to the Kenyan flag. Both the Sudanese and Kenyan flags reflect the Pan-Arab colors which were first adopted by Syria in March 1920, and last by Sudan which officially hoisted it in 1970.
Ceramics are generally made by taking mixtures of clay, earthen elements, powders, and water and shaping them into desired forms. Once the ceramic has been shaped, it is fired in a high temperature oven known as a kiln. Often, ceramics are covered in decorative, waterproof, paint-like substances known as glazes.
Mosaics are made by setting coloured pieces into mortar (cement) which sets hard and holds the pieces in place. Some mosaics are made of round pebbles, and have only two or three colours. Other mosaics are made of marble. Many mosaics, particularly in Italy, are made of terracotta tiles.
