← HistoryWhich consequence arises when anisotropic stress fractures Mughal pietra dura?
A)Mosaic tesserae loss accelerates✓
B)Efflorescence impairs surface clarity
C)Differential erosion undermines stability
D)Binder oxidation impairs aesthetic clarity
💡 Explanation
Tesserae loss accelerates during anisotropic stresses because pre-existing micro-fractures within the different stones propagate via stress concentration, causing detachment; therefore, mosaic integrity is diminished, rather than changes from erosion or oxidation.
