The word "effigy" has two meanings, though they are directly related. It can be used to describe a sculpture or similar likeness of a person. Alternately, it is often used to describe a crude model of a person with the intention of burning or otherwise damaging it, giving rise to the common phrase, to "burn in effigy." An example of a sentence using the word "effigy" is "Demonstrators burned a flag and an effigy of the president in protest of the war."
