εἰκόνος
eikṓn
image
Visual representation; a form or figure resembling a person or thing. εἰκών primarily denotes something that is made to look like or correspond to an original—often in a visual or physical form, such as a statue, portrait, or image. It can further extend to abstract or figurative senses, denoting a representation, manifestation, or likeness—whether physical (e.g., a coin’s press), visual (e.g., a painting), or conceptual (e.g., a moral or spiritual likeness). Its semantic range includes: 1) a material object fashioned to represent a being or thing (statue, portrait, effigy); 2) a visible likeness or outward form; 3) a symbolic, conceptual, or spiritual representation (as of qualities, virtues, or character).
