zoomorphic
This term is primarily utilized in archaeology, art history, and anthropology to describe artifacts or deities that take the shape of animals. It carries a technical, academic tone and is used to categorize the visual representation of non-human biological forms in a cultural or religious context.
Because it describes a specific stylistic attribute, it is almost always used as a modifier for nouns like pottery, sculpture, or iconography. It differs from "animal-shaped" in its formality and its implication of a symbolic or ritualistic purpose rather than a mere physical resemblance.
