mannikins

Tiny human models

Mannikins is the plural of mannikin, a small human figure used as an artist's model or anatomical teaching aid.

The spelling overlaps with mannequin, though mannikin tends toward the diminutive—a little man or dwarf—while mannequin suggests the life-sized fashion dummy.

Mannikin also names a family of small tropical finches: The bronze mannikin is native to Africa.
