没错，应该是E,不仅是平行的问题。还有fashion的用法问题。都决定只能是E.

fashion [transitive]

to shape or make something, using your hands or only a few tools
fashion something from something
He fashioned a box from a few old pieces of wood.
fashion something into something
Jamie could take a piece of wood and fashion it into a wonderful work of art.

也就是说fashion的宾语应该是images of Hindu deities，而不是 empire

所以，此处应该用连词and连接（同一个主语images）。
