Figurines are small, often decorative sculptures that represent people, animals, or objects. They can be made from various materials, including ceramic, plastic, metal, or wood. Figurines are commonly used in home decor, collectibles, and as gifts. Some are handcrafted, while others are mass-produced. Many figurines are created for specific themes or purposes, such as holiday decorations, religious symbols, or popular culture characters. Collectors often seek out rare or limited-edition pieces, which can increase in value over time. Figurines can also serve as artistic expressions, showcasing the skill of the artist or the cultural significance of the subject.
