A figurine (a diminutive form of the word figure) or statuette is a small statue that represents a human, deity or animal, or in practice a pair or small group of them. Figurines have been made in many media, with pottery, metal, wood, glass, and today plastic or resin the most significant. Ceramic figurines not made of porcelain are called terracottas in historical contexts.
In China, there are extant Neolithic figurines.
Prehistoric figurines of pregnant women are called Venus figurines, because of their presumed representation of a goddess, or some connection to fertility. The two oldest known examples are made of stone, were found in Africa and Asia, and are several hundred thousand years old. Many made of fired clay have been found in Europe that date to 25-30,000 BC, and are the oldest ceramics known.

The original idea for a thriller film came long ago from Kunle Afolayan himself and Jovi Babs and it was to be titled Shrine. The script took nine months to be finalized and the development stage took five years. The film was shot in Lagos and Osun State for three months and received sponsorship from companies such as MicCom Golf Resort, GSK, Omatek Computers, MTN, IRS Airlines, and Cinekraft. It also had media partners like HiTV and others. There were no professional stunts on the ground, so most of the stunts were performed by Kunle Afolayan on set.
I still remember the first time I saw you In the library lift up to the twenty fourth floor From where I stood you looked like an angel So I didn't move until you walked out the door The metro The bus stops The market The disco Buying CDs In strip malls In restaurants In juice bars In hallways In parties The salon The airport In the rain In the streets In the sunshine In short sleeves In makeup At night clubs On the dance floor All around In the evening At sunrise At lunchtime At midnight Through windows Of taxis Classrooms Highrises I fell in love the first time I saw you Even though we never met And I still see you at the clubs and in cafes And every night you're in my dreams It's true, you might be a stranger But you're not that strange to me To you, I know I'm a stranger But please don't run away from me Away from me I can always rely on you to be there Looking up behind the cash register If we met, if we rang all our good times I can't disappoint you with only my eyes It's true, you might be a stranger But you're not that strange to me To you, I know I'm a stranger And that's the way I want it to be The metro The bus stop The market The disco Buying CDs In strip malls In restaurants In juice bars At night clubs At parties A salon An airport Through windows Of taxis Apartments Highrises
