Do you have any sculptures in your house?

Not little ceramic figurines of cats or cherubs, but not necessarily a 17-foot marble statue of Venus either. I’m just referring to some kind of art that’s three-dimensional (yes, I know that paintings are objects with three dimensions too; but I’m talking about physical volume as an attribute of the artwork)—either original or a reproduction, such as this or this or this.
If so, what are they like?
Tags as I wrote them: sculpture, art, statuettes, museum reproductions, original artwork.

I have a few anime figurines. Original Dirty Pair and other misc. scantily clad or swim suit clad girls.
I have a blown glass fish and ceramic swan.
I collect masks. I probably have a couple dozen. They survived my floods, because they were higher on the wall.
Most are wooden. Some are like stone, or something.
I feel that we all wear masks. The artform is interesting to me.
Sure.
I have a 2.5’ replica of the Winged Victory of Samothrace my wife got for me in Paris.
I also have an original sculpture of Don Quixote my wife got for me in Puerto Rico. It has muted colors and is mostly abstract. He’s about 2-feet tall.
We also have two ceramic venetian masquerade masks we got in Venice. They’re hand painted.
Does pottery count? We have a few nice pieces from China.
A Nendoroid Tachikoma and 2 occult chalices.
<sigh> Many years ago I had a small (14”) replica of Rodin’s Fallen Caryatid Carrying Her Stone. It disappeared during a move, by the time I noticed it was way too late to backtrack and find it. I kind of felt that that was when I started carrying my own (metaphoric) Fallen Stone.
ETA: Sorry about the past tense. But thanks for the reminder!
A bust of Beethoven on the piano
I have a small, vintage ceramic bust of the Virgin Mary that was handed down to me by my mother. I think her mother bought it on a trip to Lourds in 1958 (the year I was born.)
My mother bought this sculpture for me after the birth of our youngest. http://imgur.com/TWJpslE
It fell and broke in two pieces. Broke my heart but I was able to glue it back together.

That was recklessly dangerous. You should have called an ambulance.
I guess I can’t answer with just a smiley face so I’ll have to add text. :)
We have a wooden carving of the Balinese Rice Goddess that we got from Bali on our honeymoon.
I have a jin chan or Chinese money frog made of brass that is about 6” long and which I use as a paperweight.
