Sheep Figurines

A figurine (a diminutive form of the word figure) is a statuette that represents a human, deity, or animal. Figurines may be realistic or iconic, depending on the skill and intention of the creator. The earliest were made of stone. More recent creations are made of ceramic, metal, glass, wood, and plastic.

Figurines and miniatures are used in board games, such as chess. and tabletop role playing games. Figures with movable parts, allowing limbs to be posed, are more likely to be called dolls or action figures; or robots or automata, if they can move on their own.

The terms inaction figures (originally used to describe Kevin Smith's View Askew figurines) and staction figures (a portmanteau of static and action figures coined by Four Horsemen artists to describe Masters of the Universe figures) have been used to refer to figurines of comic book or sci-fi/fantasy characters without movable parts.

Antiquing is performed at garage sales, estate sales, resort towns, antiques districts, collectives, and international auction houses.

Note that the word "antiquing" may also refer to the art of making an object appear antique through distressing or applying an antique looking paint application.
