Icon of the Witness

==Description==
These ceremonial tools, in common with several other [[Category:Icons|icons]], allow a priest to perform or assist with a [[Liao]] ceremony that they have not personally mastered. The icon of the witness is often decorated with images of exemplars and paragons who have exalted others more than themselves, or whose tales include inspirational moments of judgement, revelation and the like. It is common for one of these icons to include themes of measuring or weighing - scales are often used, but so are short staves marked at regular intervals. The paagon [[Zoria]] is said to have crafted the first icon of the witness, an artefact in the shape of a three-foot rod marked in inches, although the truth of this claim is difficult to ascertain.
