History

Which 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.
