replicas
Faithful scale models
Replicas are copies or reproductions of something, typically made to closely resemble an original.
The word usually implies intentional duplication rather than accidental similarity, and replicas range from museum-quality reproductions of artworks to mass-produced souvenirs.
The gift shop sold replicas of artifacts from the exhibit.
Unlike forgeries, replicas are generally acknowledged as copies rather than presented as originals.
