Which constraint limits the detail of 'pietra dura' inlay on Mughal monuments?

💡 Explanation

Material grain isotropy limits resolution of 'pietra dura' because non-isotropic grains fracture unpredictably during fine cutting. Therefore, intricate designs are harder to achieve, rather than logistical reasons, humidity effects or artisan availability alone being limiting factors.
