The correct answer is B) Illustrations decorated with gold and color.
The statement that best describes the early Christian illuminated manuscripts is “Illustrations decorated with gold and color.“
Early Christian illustrations also contained some symbolic animals in their representations such as fish, doves, and lamb. The dove, for instance, was a representation of peace still used in our time. The lamb represented the son, “The Lamb of God”, “The Son of God”, and the Fish was a representation of Master Jesus teachings. He was the fisherman of men. The art and frescos of early Christian illustrations had figures and symbols decorated with color and gold.
