An EFFIGY is a representation of a person, usually made out of materials such as clay, wax, or wood. It is often used to represent a deceased person, or a person who is not present. It can also be used to represent a person in a symbolic way, such as a political figure or a religious figure. The term 'likeness of a person' is often used to describe an EFFIGY, as it is meant to resemble the person it is representing.
