is an ancient technique for decorating metalwork,
objects with colored material held in place or separated by metal strips or wire, normally of gold.

In antiquity, the C
loisonne
technique was mostly used for jewelry and small fittings for clothes, weapons or similar small objects decorated with geometric or schematic designs, with thick cloisonne walls.
