Добрый день!
Не подскажете, как перевести термин "подобие иконы", встречающийся в религиозных текстах.
Контекст (из описания Белогорского Свято-Николаевского монастыря):
========================================================
На Белую гору были доставлены пять Святых икон:
– ***подобие*** Казанской иконы Божией Матери;
========================================================

Заранее спасибо,
Игорь.
