wax figure
Molded paraffin statue
A wax figure is a life-sized sculpture of a person made from wax, typically displayed in museums like Madame Tussauds.
The medium allows for realistic skin tones and fine detail, making wax figures popular for depicting celebrities, historical figures, and world leaders.
Tourists posed with the wax figure of the president.
Figuratively, someone standing unnaturally still might be compared to a wax figure.
