Exact copies or reproductions of original objects, artworks, or items. Plural of replica, referring to multiple duplicate versions.
From Italian 'replica' meaning 'reply' or 'repetition,' originally used in art to describe an artist's copy of their own work. From Latin 'replicare' meaning 'to fold back' or 'repeat.'
In the art world, there's an important distinction between a 'replica' (made by the original artist), a 'reproduction' (made by others with permission), and a 'forgery' (made to deceive). Some of the world's most famous 'original' artworks in museums are actually high-quality replicas, with the originals stored safely away from light and environmental damage.
