What symbols are in Christ as the Good Shepherd from Galla Placidia?

Unfortunately, I can't answer the specific question, but here's a link to information on the impressive mausoleum in Ravenna associated with her name. I hope it's some use to you. See the Related Link for "Basilica di San Vitale" to the bottom for the answer. (You'll need to scroll down some way). The mosaic in a Lunette of the entrance wall to the Mausoleum of Galla Placidia does not contain as much symbolism as the Good Shepherd Apse mosaic in Saint' Apollinaire (549). Christ is still the Good Shepherd in the Galla Placidia mosaic (425-450), but a few subtle changes lead to the future portrayals of Christ as King. In the Lunette, Jesus no longer carries a lamb on his shoulders, he sits in the center of the composition, quite regal and isolated somewhat, gaze focused outward, with a halo and is robed in gold and purple (the colors of Royalty). The flock is evenly split into groups of three on each side of Christ. A carefully constructed landscape suggests all we need is here, the blue sky suggests we are still on earth with the chance to join the flock.

How does Christ the Good Shepherd mosaic convey the teaching of christ at that time?

Christ Jesus, though, 'felt pity for the crowds, because they were skinned and thrown about like sheep without a shepherd.' (Mt 9:36) His declaring the good news to the poor and oppressed stood in such marked contrast with the attitude of the religious leaders of Judaism that it constituted one of the proofs that he was indeed the Messiah. (Matthew 11:5; Luke 4:18; 7:22)
