Crude model of a public figure (6)

I believe the answer is:

effigy

(Other definitions for effigy that I've seen before include "Graven image" , "Image of a person (Guy Fawkes on 5 November?)" , "A guy, for instance" , "Crude dummy of person" , "Likeness of a person in sculpture" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
