Definition:
An effigy is a crafted likeness—often carved, stitched, or assembled to resemble a specific subject. It can serve as tribute, warning, protest, or ritual symbol depending on context. The word carries an uncanny edge, as though representation can hold more weight than it should. Effigies draw attention to identity through form, sometimes unsettling in their stillness. They suggest power placed into shape and resemblance.
