An image or effigy; – used rather in an abstract sense, and rarely for a work of art.

- 1920, H. P. Lovecraft, The Doom that Came to Sarnath:
  Not like the eikons of other gods were those of Zo-Kalar and Tamash and Lobon. For so close to life were they that one might swear the graceful bearded gods themselves sate on the ivory thrones.
