A waxwork, I think would be a replication of a Human done in Wax or perhaps in Gore's case done in Wood!!! LOL!

Please don't laugh, but what is a waxwork?

A mannequin made to look like a particular person. They were originally made from wax, hence the name. There are many "wax museums" around, the most famous being Madame Tussaud's in London.
