clay idol
Molded worship figure
A clay idol is a figurine or statue made of clay, typically representing a deity or spirit for worship.
The term often carries connotations of primitive or false religion, echoing biblical prohibitions against graven images: They bowed before clay idols.
Figuratively, a clay idol is something revered that proves fragile or unworthy of devotion.
