Facsimile(Noun): An exact copy

“The Statue of Liberty has never made me feel at home, either in New York Harbor or on Las Vegas Boulevard, where it stood squat and compressed as I drove past, a facsimile in incremental scale.”

I first seen this word in the text Walk with me by David L. Ulin in the second paragraph. I didn’t understand the word and it was my first time seeing it.

Example: A facsimile was reproduced by the team to keep the original trophy in the showcase.
