Statue or other material object representing a deity (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

idol

(Other definitions for idol that I've seen before include "Image of a god (not icon)" , "Object of excessive love or devotion" , "Heathen god" , "Person who is the object of intense admiration as by fan club" , "something to be revered" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
