animal or
object. Its primary concern is representational.A small statue is called statuette. A statue of just a head and shoulders is a
bust.Many statues are built on commission to commemorate a historical event, or the
life of an influential person. Many statues are intended as
public art, exhibited outdoors or in public buildings for the edification of passers-by, with a larger magnitude than normal words could ever have for the common man.
