homage
Public display of reverence
Homage is a public show of respect or honor, often ceremonial: The film pays homage to classic westerns.
Originally a feudal vassal's formal acknowledgment of loyalty to a lord, the word now usually describes tributes to influential predecessors or admired works: The architect's design was an homage to Frank Lloyd Wright.
