The word "effigy" has two meanings, though they are directly related. It can be used to describe a sculpture or similar likeness of a person. Alternately, it is often used to describe a crude model of a person with the intention of burning or otherwise damaging it, giving rise to the common phrase, to "burn in effigy." An example of a sentence using the word "effigy" is "Demonstrators burned a flag and an effigy of the president in protest of the war."

Burned symbolically, as a statement. An effigy is a man-made figure, like a statue or sculpture. If you make one out of flammable materials such as wood or straw and make sure that people know who it stands for (by a sign or symbol or caricature, for instance), and then you burn it, it is a message of wishful destruction toward that person.
An effigy refers to the representation of something or somebody in a form of a sculpture.
