Sometimes motifs are left to fade at some point in time. There can be many reasons for this. The subject matter depicted might no longer be understood or might have lost its relevance for the painters. Also, the focus of painting activity may have shifted from one part of the site to another, leaving some areas out of the re-painting process for some time. In addition, individual preference may favour the re-painting of some motifs at the cost of others.
