Revered figures (5)

I believe the answer is:

idols

(Other definitions for idols that I've seen before include "False gods" , "Objects of worship" , "Effigies worshipped as gods" , "Graven images sometimes worshipped" , "Solid kind of images" .)

I've seen this clue in the USA Today and the Newsday.com.
