Allegorical figures are personifications of abstract concepts such as triumph, faith, and virtue. In the iconography of [[One Nation Under Jou]], the figures are generally of humanoid form, but not always, and convey social values and themes through posture, gesture, clothing and props. The items that they carry help identify their meaning, for example, the allegorical figure of faith carries a flaming torch, while the figure of achievement has a wreath of laurel leaves. The most prominent use of this practice is on the nation's [[awards]]. However, the figures can also be found as statues in churches, and other culturally significant places.
