Avatar is a graphical element which you can use to represent a person, group, entity or communication channel.

Exclude decorative avatars (avatars that repeat the information already expressed by the accompanying text) from screen reader access to avoid repetition. If you're adding an avatar for decorative purposes, use aria-hidden to exclude its label from the screen reader.

If you're using an alternative icon inside an avatar, the icon's aria-label should be descriptive in relation to the avatar context, not the icon context. For example, when using <BuildingSolidIcon/> to represent a company, aria-label should read "Company profile" rather than the icon's default label "building solid."
