Abstract: Abstract The term “Cult image,” is conventionally applied to a statue of a deity that functioned as the primary focus of ritual and veneration in his or her sanctuary. Usually located within the god's temple, such images served as authoritative symbols of the cult and were often replicated in the form of votive statuettes and reproduced in a wide variety of media, from reliefs to coins (e.g., Nick 2002).
