History

Which outcome occurs when Byzantine silk production faces restrictions preventing import of crucial alum?

A)Fabrics degrade faster from oxidation
B)Dyes lack proper metallic mordant
C)Weaving machines suffer increased wear
D)Silk production yields decrease rapidly

💡 Explanation

The dyes require metallic mordants to permanently adhere to the fabrics, involving a chemical fixation mechanism. Therefore the colors fade or wash out, rather than robustly bonding because alum sources are absent.
