	Effigy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Effigies may also be (half) demi-figures and the term is occasionally used to refer to a bust, for example: "the coin bears an effigy of Lincoln".
		The effigy is burned as a sign of the participants' shared intent to banish the represented element from their lives.
		Political effigies serve a broadly similar purpose on political demonstrations or annual community rituals such as that held in Lewes, on the south coast of England.

	Effigy Moundbuilding (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-03)
		The effigy mounds were constructed in the forms of animals, such as bear, deer, panther, wolf, fox, buffalo and turtle; and also in the images of birds, such as eagles, swallows and geese.
		While the mounds of effigy forms supposedly are attributable to ceremonial or totemic ideas, they also contain burials, in approximately the same proportion as do the conical and linear mounds.
		An interesting feature of the burials is that they usually occupy definite places with respect to the anatomy of the effigy- centrally within the head, midway between the shoulder and hips, and in the position of the head.

	MYSTERIOUS WORLD: Winter 2002: Effigy Mounds Part II: The Spirit of the Mounds (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-03)
		To Mallam, the effigy mounds were 'metaphorical expressions of the culture's religious beliefs.' He considered the mounds and rockshelters sacred places and spent many hours alone at the sites searching for hidden meanings of the petroglyphs and effigy-shaped mounds.
		Mallam believed that each complex of effigy mounds, such as the Marching Bear Group, was constructed by a distinct social group that returned periodically to participate in ceremonies to renew their ties to the earth and insure the continued cycles of life and the regeneration of plants and animals.
		He suggested 'the effigies appear to be integrated with the earth while at the same time simultaneously emerge from it — the mounds symbolize the cyclical regularity of life itself, ever changing, always the same, constantly being reborn'.
