Abstract
Abstract A do-it-yourself kit including a series of individual transparent plates with opposite parallel sides and each of a size constituting a small fraction of the overall mural to be fabricated therefrom. Each of the plates has deposited on the rear surface and in only selected areas thereof a pigmented material forming a different fractional part of an overall picture formed by the juxtaposed positioning of the plates in two directions. A mirror-forming coating is formed over the deposited pigmented material which coating forms a mirrored surface between the areas of each plate covered by the pigmented material.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim
129 words
A kit from which a wall mounted picture-displaying mural is made, said kit comprising: a series of individual transparent plates with straight sides and each of a size constituting a small fraction of the overall size of the mural to be fabricated therefrom, each of said plates having deposited on the rear surface and on only selected areas thereof a pigmented material forming a different fractional part of an overall picture formed by the juxtaposed positioning of the plates in two directions, the straight sides of said plates being placeable into abutment therealong to form a sUbstantially continuous mural, and a mirror-forming coating over the said deposited pigmented material of each plate which coating forms a mirrored surface between the areas of each plate covered by said pigmented material.
Claim 2
