What is a graven image?

Sincerely,

Dear Feeling Wooden,

A graven image is a carved statue, trinket, figurine, etc. that is used for idolatrous worship.  A graven image is something that has been molded, carved, painted, etc. to depict a false god (Isa 44:17).  Many cultures, from the ancient Romans to the Mayans, had graven images as a regular part of their art.
