traditional symbols
Conventional meaningful images
Traditional symbols are images, objects, or signs that have acquired established meanings through long cultural use rather than arbitrary assignment.
The cross represents Christianity, the dove signifies peace, the skull suggests death.
These differ from conventional symbols (like traffic signs) in carrying deeper cultural resonance accumulated over generations: The poem draws on traditional symbols of rebirth—eggs, spring flowers, the rising sun.
