Meanings
nounstatuette (plural statuettes)
plural statuettes
- A small statue, usually a figure much less than life size, especially when of marble or bronze, or of plaster or clay as a preparation for the marble or bronze, as distinguished from a figure in terra cotta etc.
Some statuettes are not monochrome but represent characters. That is why they are called nanofigures.
