← HistoryWhich limitation constrained the size limits the complexity of pietra dura inlays of Agra Fort?
A)Material thermal expansion rates differed✓
B)Artisans lacked precision saws
C)Mortar mixtures were insufficiently adhesive
D)Metal reinforcement became esthetically unpleasant
💡 Explanation
Material thermal expansion differences limited inlay size, because differential expansions creates stresses exceeding material strengths, leading to cracking; therefore larger, more complex patterns were avoided, rather than adhesive failure being avoided with improved mortars.
