Answer:

D. sculptures

Step-by-step explanation:

Byzantine art had its center of diffusion from the city of Constantinople, capital of the Eastern Roman Empire, and was first developed by incorporating features from eastern regions such as Asia Minor and Syria.

We can mention as main characteristics of Byzantine sculpture: uniformity, rigidity, unnaturalness and presence of geometric lines and stylized foliage. Noteworthy in the sculpture is the work with ivory, especially the diptych, a work in low relief, formed by two small panels that close, or triptych, works that refer to the Virgin Mary, Christ and the Apostles, but with a central part and two closing side parts.
