Which maintenance risk impacted longevity of Mughal pietra dura?

💡 Explanation

Loss durability befell Mughal pietra dura from the abrasion mechanism due to foot traffic, because softer inlay stones wore away faster than the harder marble. Therefore inlay was lost, rather than pigment fading (oxidation) or cracking (thermal stress).
