pictography

Britannica Concise Encyclopedia: pictography

Expression of words and ideas through drawings (pictographs), considered a forerunner of true writing. Pictographs are drawn in a standardized way, omitting unnecessary details. A pictograph that stands for a specific idea or meaning is an ideogram; one that stands for an individual word is a logogram.
