The Ancient Statue is a sculpture first introduced in Animal Crossing: New Leaf. This piece is based on Jomon Period "Dogū" figurines, from between 1000-400 BC. These fired pottery pieces are widely believed to be representations of mother goddesses associated with fertility, due to their female body shape, big eyes, small waists, and wide hips. As the pieces are fragile, it is quite rare to find unbroken Dogū, such as the ones found in-game.

In New Leaf, the statue is displayed in the first Artwork room, in the southeast quadrant.

Authenticity

In Animal Crossing: New Leaf, if the Dogū's eyes are open, it is fake. If its eyes are closed, it is genuine.

In Animal Crossing: New Horizons, if the Dogū has antennas on the head, then it is a forgery. The forged Dogū's eyes will periodically glow, and if placed as a regular furniture item, it will float when interacted with.

Museum exhibit description

"Shakoki refers to how big, round eyes look like Inuit snow goggles used for blocking light."
— Museum Exhibit, Animal Crossing: New Leaf
Jōmon Period "Dogū" Figurine Shakōki-dogū
Artist Unknown, 1000-400 BCE, Fired pottery
"A mysterious, riveting doll made from kneaded, unglazed dirt during the Jōmon period. Its large round eyes resemble goggles that intercept light, so its name should come as no surprise. "Shakōki" means "light-intercepting goggles," and a dogū is a small animal figurine."
