History

Which risk increases when differential thermal expansion stresses historical Mughal-era pietra dura?

A)Increased tesserae light scattering
B)Accelerated material transmutation rate
C)Weakened structural bridge support
D)Delamination of the inlay mosaic

💡 Explanation

Delamination of the inlay mosaic occurs because the differential thermal expansion creates shear stresses at the adhesive layer, therefore the tessarae detach as a unit rather than the individual gems degrading. Light scattering or transmutation aren't linked.
