This statue represents Sistros, one of the esteemed Four Sages of Dwartii. Statuary, as a form of art, encompasses physical representations, such as those crafted by the artist Ineas Tikartine. An individual named Marn Hierogryph once attempted to sell makeshift statuary pieces on the planet Ralltiir. Statuettes are generally considered to be smaller versions of statues. While stone is the most common material for statues, some have been constructed from ice.
Statuaries can serve multiple purposes, including the commemoration of individuals or events, with the former usually reserved for those who have performed extraordinary service, or as a tool of propaganda. A prime example of the latter occurred during the Battle of Endor (specifically, a holosimulation created by the Emperor's Hand Mara Jade depicting what should have happened, rather than the actual events). In this simulation, Darth Vader promised the Imperial officer in charge of defeating the Endor strike team and the Ewoks that a statue would be erected on Coruscant in his honor due to his supposed victory. Another instance is the statue of the Galactic Emperor Palpatine, which was positioned at the entrance of Theed Palace on Naboo during the Empire Day holiday to celebrate his founding of the Empire. Similarly, Emperor Palpatine commissioned a statue of himself in the Jedi Trials Chamber as a symbol of his power and the superiority of the Sith over the Jedi. In Coronet City on Corellia, a statue of Yoda, the Grand Master of the Jedi Order and a missing-in-action hero of the Clone Wars, was built, reflecting the planet's support for the Rebel Alliance.
The Sith Empire commonly created statues of the Sith Emperor, portraying him as a formidable figure with a hood concealing his face. This concept was later mirrored in the statues of Galactic Emperor Palpatine, created millennia later.
Both the Statuary Park located on Bakura and the Statuary Park found on the Death Star were areas designed for public enjoyment, showcasing various statues.
