Hi. This question is incomplete. The complete question is as follows:

Christ as the Good Shepherd appears in the Mausoleum of Galla Placidia and uses many iconographic devices. Which of the following is one of those devices?

a. goats representing sinners

b. sheep representing the Faithful

c. a basin of water

d. a chalice

The correct answer from the above options is option (b): sheep representing the Faithful

Explanation:

The portrait of Christ the Good Shepherd at the entrance to Mausoleum of Galla Placidia (Ravenna, Italy) shows Christ seated and surrounded by three sheep at his right, and also three sheep at his left side. All the sheep represent his faithful followers who are close to him in spirit, and whom he comforts at all times. The symbol of Christ as a shepherd can be clearly understood by reading the gospel of John in which Christ says he will lay down his life for the sheep, or those who are faithful to him (SmartHistory): “I am the Good Shepherd, the Good Shepherd lays down his life for the sheep"—John 10:11.
