What is 'joggling'?
It is what was deteriorating in the photo! I suppose 'stone inlayed into stone' would cover it. A post on some lovely architecture of the Marmluk period will follow, and this is a feature of it.
Mamluk. I don't know where the stray 'r' came from.
I could see the deterioration but wasn't sure what it was. Went and looked it up in the dictionary...
1. A joint between two pieces of building material formed by a notch and a fitted projection.
2. The notch or the projecting piece used in such a joint.
Thanks for your research about my tease, Joy. I admit it wasn't a term I remember coming across until a few weeks ago!
