Merriam-Webster defines miniature as:

• A very small sculpture, portrait, or painting.

The miniatures that you see (dolls, bobble heads, statues, cars, etc.) be small in size, but they make it possible for us to have. Can you imagine everyone owning the actual Statue of Liberty, having Athens and the Parthenon, or even multiple airplanes in their houses. Thanks to miniature sculptures, portraits, and paintings, we able to have such replicas without having to make huge adjustments.
