Which consequence occurs if excessive moisture permeates centuries-old Mughal 'Pietra Dura'?

💡 Explanation

Colorant migration results because water acts as a *capillary transport agent*, carrying soluble salts. Therefore, colors diffuse and blur, rather than retaining sharp boundaries of the original 'pietra dura' due to differential solubility amongst the mineral species.
