mannikin
Jointed artist's model
A mannikin is a little man—the word shares roots with mannequin, and both suggest something human-shaped.
Mannikin can describe a person of unusually small stature, an anatomical model used for medical training, or an artist's jointed wooden figure.
The spelling distinguishes it from the store-display mannequin, though both derive from the same Dutch word for "little man."
