religious statue
Church figure carving
A religious statue is a sculpted figure representing a deity, saint, or sacred person, used in worship, devotion, or as a focal point for prayer.
These range from small household icons to monumental public works: pilgrims touched the religious statue for blessings, the religious statues in the cathedral dated to the medieval period.
In some traditions, such statues are venerated as conduits to the divine; in others, they're considered idolatrous.
