Which mechanism minimized differential expansion stress within Mughal pietra dura inlay panels?

💡 Explanation

Interlocking beveled edges provide mechanical retention and distribution of differential thermal expansion stress, because they resist shear forces. The panel then resists cracking; rather than relying on mortar or material properties alone; therefore accommodating temperature fluctuations.
