gold statue

Metallic sculptural award

A gold statue is a sculpture made of or covered in gold, often depicting a person, deity, or symbolic figure.

Gold statues typically commemorate important figures or serve religious purposes: The temple housed a gold statue of Buddha.

Because solid gold is expensive and heavy, most gold statues are gold-plated or gilded rather than solid gold throughout.
