| The distinction made here is a broad one between two different categories of representation, the aniconic and the figural. |
| In his own aniconic way, as Kiely argues, Augustine was an artist. |
| Here then in the most marked manner the aniconic sacrament has ousted pictures and statues. |
| This is not necessarily the case with the worshipper of aniconic or unshaped gods. |
| The significance of this unique sculpture is uncertain but a heraldic device of the ruling elite or an aniconic symbol of a protecting deity are possibilities. |
| It is a widely known fact that modern Zoroastrian worship is aniconic, with fire serving as the only icon of the divine. |
