wax doll
Candle-material plaything
A wax doll is a doll with a head and sometimes limbs made of wax, popular from the 18th through early 20th centuries.
The material allowed for realistic skin tones and delicate features.
Figuratively, a wax doll describes someone with an unnaturally pale, smooth, or lifeless appearance: She sat motionless as a wax doll.
