Small representation of a person (6)

I believe the answer is:

effigy

(Other definitions for effigy that I've seen before include "A guy, for instance" , "Model of a person made to be damaged or destroyed as a protest" , "(Burnable) representation of a person" , "Sculpture or model of a person" , "Image of a person (Guy Fawkes on 5 November?)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
