cult images (religious visual works, <visual works by function>, ... Visual and Verbal Communication (hierarchy name))

Note: Man-made objects that are venerated for the deity or spirit they embody and that are the center of a particular cult or religion. Cult images may be dressed, fed, or paraded in various rituals. Although their meanings overlap, a cult image differs from an "idol" in that it typically is a larger item that is uniquely the focus of a certain religion or cult, often particularly referring to religions of the ancient world. For objects used similarly but containing no images, use "religious objects" or "cult objects." This term is generally used for non-Christian images; for Christian images that are themselves considered sacred, use "icons."

Additional Notes:

Chinese (traditional) ..... 人工製造的各式物件，由特定教派或宗教信徒視為信仰中心，並尊為神祇或者是神靈的化身。在各種儀式中，信徒會為宗教膜拜圖像著裝、為其供奉食物，或是簇擁其於街上遊行。雖然在意義上有相通之處，但宗教膜拜圖像與「偶像（idol)）是不同的；偶像一般而言型體更大，是特定宗教或教派的唯一膜拜對象，崇拜偶像的宗教多為古時候的宗教。若是指稱功用相似但非圖像的物件，使用「宗教物件」或者是「宗教膜拜物件」。「宗教膜拜圖像」一詞一般是用在非基督教徒膜拜的圖像上；若是指稱被視為神聖的基督教圖像，請使用「聖像（icons）」一詞。

Dutch ..... Door de mens gemaakte objecten die worden aanbeden als de god of geest die ze belichamen, en die centraal staan binnen een bepaalde cultus of religie. Er kunnen verschillende rituelen zijn om de cultusbeelden te kleden, eten te geven of in optocht mee te voeren. Hoewel de betekenis van 'cultusbeeld' deels overeenkomt met die van 'afgodsbeeld', is een cultusbeeld doorgaans groter van formaat, is het een exclusief object van aanbidding van een bepaalde religie of cultus, en heeft het vaak vooral betrekking op religies van de oude wereld. Gebruik 'religieuze objecten' of 'cultusobjecten' voor voorwerpen die op dezelfde wijze worden gebruikt maar geen beeltenissen zijn. De term 'cultusbeeld' wordt in het algemeen gebruikt voor niet-christelijke beelden; gebruik 'iconen' voor christelijke beelden die zelf als heilig worden beschouwd.

Spanish ..... Imágenes pictóricas o escultóricas que son veneradas dentro de un sistema particular de culto. Para objetos usados de manera similar pero que no contienen imágenes, use "objeto religioso" u "objeto de culto".
