DM that plays. That clearly a trap but lets trigger it and see what happens.

There’s never a legitimate reason for a statue to be inside a structure (as opposed to in a public square), unless you’re in a temple or shrine to a friendly god and it’s their statue.

DM tip: the real trap is that the players put themselves in danger by spending too much time searching for traps. (Perhaps a routine patrol overtakes the party due to wasted time; or perhaps there is literally a timed trap or whatever.)
