Revered image (4)
I believe the answer is:
icon
'revered image' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for icon that I've seen before include "Venerated person (or thing)" , "Representation on wooden panel of saint" , "Famous and admired person" , "found on desktop" , "Figure of Christ in Eastern churches" .)
