Sign is the generic word comprehending all significant representations .
An emblem is a visible object representing another by a natural suggestion of characteristic qualities ,
or an habitual and recognized association ;
as ,
a circle ,
having no apparent beginning or end ,
is an emblem of eternity ;
a particular flag is the emblem of the country or ship which has adopted it for a sign and with which it is habitually associated .
Between emblem and symbol the distinction is slight ,
and often one may be substituted for the other without impropriety .
See {
Symbol }.
Thus ,
a circle is either an emblem or a symbol of eternity ;
a scepter ,
either an emblem or a symbol of authority ;
a lamb ,
either an emblem or a symbol of meekness . "
An emblem is always of something simple ;
a symbol may be of something complex ,
as of a transaction . . .
In consequence we do not speak of actions emblematic ." --

A type is a representative example ,
or model ,
exhibiting the qualities common to all individuals of the class to which it belongs ;
