The Church uses symbols in statues or paintings to help her faithful recognize and teach about a particular saint. Some hold the instruments of their torture or death (i.e. St. Paul and the sword) As for a palm, it is called The palm of martyrs. If a saint is holding a palm, it usually symbolizes their martyrdom in one hand, and in the other, an object of their torture.
