A fine lime plaster used for covering walls and creating interior architectural elements, which is a mixture of gypsum and glue or white marble and pulverized with plaster of lime and mixed with water. This weather-resistant plaster is used as a wall covering and for decorative features such as moldings, friezes, facades, and cornices. The Maya decorated temples and other monumental architecture with stucco masks and figures. Examples of stuccowork also occur in the Aztec architecture of Mexico and the Muslim architecture of North Africa and Spain. In ancient Greece stucco was applied to both interior and exterior temple walls as early as 1400 BC.
