The present study was produced into the field of Zooarchaeology as an area of analysis which aims to investigate the material remains from animals related to human experiences, thus enabling to perform different analyzes on different objects considering that the materialness may be loaded with distinct representations as well as socially constructed meanings disseminated as a structure of signs likely to be understood as communication channels. Therefore, the material culture on the scene of the religious universe is pervaded by several symbolic representations, in which are the zoo iconographic elements. The theme of this research originated from this context of interpretation and analysis of the Catholic material culture and aims to understand the significance of the Christian iconography widespread in colonial churches that integrated the ecclesiastical territory owed by the Archdiocese of Bahia, in the Sergipe Del Rey captaincy issued from the17th to the 18th century. Furthermore, this archaeological study does not come from excavation works, but the result of a survey and “prospection/ excavation” through a careful look at the altar retables that find its meaningfulness in the context in which it is inserted. Thus, its function dwells where it was placed, which is its role in the catechetical process. As an element of the Catholic material culture, the objects were produced to pass on specific messages, the m bird, the pelican and the other several objects were part of the religious discourse during the counter-reformation movement in Catholic sites within the catechetical process, coming to the final conclusion that the zoo iconographic materials produced on surfaces carry intentional meanings.
