They were symbols of the highest ranking.<span>Certain colored feathers were attributed more value than others. Since red was associated with gods and chiefs, red feathers were reserved for religious objects and garments worn by high-ranking members of society. In Hawaii, where the red-feathered </span>i’iwi<span> and </span>apapane<span> birds are small but plentiful, feathered capes made for the elite actually came to be known as </span>‘ahu ‘ula<span>, meaning “red garment.” The name did not change even after Hawaiian artists began including yellow feathers alongside the red. Rarer than red feathers in Hawaii, the golden feathers of the </span>‘o’o<span> and </span>mamo<span>were highly prized.</span>
I believe the correct answer is E. bas-relief.
<span>bas-relief (meaning: low relief) is one of the
sculpture technique, alongside high-relief and intaglio, in which figures and elements
are just barely more distinguished than the background (usually overall flat). Bas-relief technique is really old, the earliest
known bas-reliefs are on the walls of caves and can also be found in Roman or
Greek sculpture (for example: bas-relief sculptures of Poseidon, Apollo and
Artemis on Parthenon).</span>
The Parthenon made use of the most familiar features of Greek architecture: post-and-lintel construction; a sloping, or gabled roof; and a colonnade.
