The majority of Visigothic reliefs are religious in nature and mostly known from churches, cathedrals and funerary monuments. By the end of the sixth century the royal court was styling itself on Byzantine models, which included the depiction of the king as a Byzantine emperor and the decoration of churches in the Byzantine fashion. Plaques or slabs with this type of decoration have been found as part of friezes, chancels and altar tables. Visigothic art is distinctive in that although it was heavily influenced by Byzantine culture it retains its Germanic styles of form that depict images from nature, as well as the human figure, in a schematic fashion
