Symbolic object (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

totem

'symbolic object' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for totem that I've seen before include "token" , "(Tribal) emblem" , "Symbolic pole" , "Image representing tribe" , "symbol representing clan" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian and The New York Times.
