Spiritual Symbol
An object or image that represents a belief, spirit, or religious idea.
What is it?
A spiritual symbol can be a statue, a drawing, or a pattern that stands for something sacred. Many cultures use spiritual symbols in their art to connect with gods, ancestors, or nature. Wood carvings often serve as spiritual symbols, representing protection or peace. The wood carving figure you captured may be a spiritual symbol, perhaps an ancestor figure or a guardian.
Why it matters
Spiritual symbols help people express their faith and feel connected to something bigger. They can also teach us about the beliefs of other cultures.
