← HistoryWhich limitation hindered consistent Byzantine enamel mosaic production?
A)Variable furnace firing temperatures caused imperfections✓
B)Precise gold sourcing became unreliable
C)Insufficient tesserae hindered overall composition
D)Glaze mixtures lacked ultraviolet protection
💡 Explanation
Unpredictable temperatures within crucible furnaces resulted in inconsistent melting of glass frits; therefore, artisans struggled replicating exact enamel shades because consistent oxidation reduction (REDOX) reactions were hard to control, rather than issues with gold or glaze imperfections.
