← HistoryWhich risk increased use of thinner dura layering in Mughal pietra dura?
A)Reduced thermal expansion matching
B)Increased light transmission cracking✓
C)Enhanced structural mortar adhesion
D)Diminished craftsman pattern replication

Increased use caused thinner stone, meaning less material held against light sources; therefore, transmitted light showed flaws, risking quicker cracking due to concentrated heat differential, rather than the stone being strong intrinsically.
