Statues
13 articles
Statues are standalone sculptures in which full-length, three-dimensional, and realistic likeness of a person, animal, or creature is cast, modeled, carved, or constructed using a long-lasting material like stone, ceramics, metal or wood.
Most statues are full-length or near life-size, making them sculptures representing animals or persons in full figure. However, there are also figurines or statuettes, which are small-sized sculptures representing a scaled-down figure of a person or animal. On the other hand, colossal statues are twice or larger than the life-size of the creature. The best-known statues include The Little Mermaid, Buddha of Bamiyan, Christ the Redeemer, and The Statue of Liberty.
