A person frozen mid-flex so the future can't forget who paid for the marble.
means A three-dimensional sculpture of a person or animal, usually carved or cast at roughly life size or larger, made to stand on its own.
from From Latin 'statua,' a thing that has been set up or made to stand, drawn from the verb 'statuere,' to set or place — itself rooted in 'stare,' to stand. So a statue is, at heart, simply 'something stood up'; the same 'stare' family stands behind 'stable,' 'status,' and 'state.' English took the word in via Old French 'statue.'
