← HistoryWhich production flaw most threatens repeating patterns in Byzantine mosaics?
A)Differential tesserae thermal expansion✓
B)Uneven gold leaf reflectance
C)Inconsistent mortar chemical composition
D)Variable smalti particulate distribution
💡 Explanation
Repeating colour patterns are affected by tesserae expansion when adhered because differential thermal expansion between materials induces stress and cracking; therefore, pattern clarity degrades rather than color variations appearing or adhesive failures occurring.
