The statue marks the entrance to the cave and alter. When I visited in July of 2021, there was a large wasp nest above the statue. It is painted in vibrant colors, and is facing southwest. Stands roughly 3 feet tall and appears to be made out of ceramic. Taken from Wikipedia, "According to the gospels of Matthew and Luke in the New Testament, Mary was a first-century Jewish woman of Nazareth, the wife of Joseph, and the mother of Jesus. Both the New Testament and the Quran describe Mary as a virgin. According to Christian theology, Mary conceived Jesus through the Holy Spirit while still a virgin, and accompanied Joseph to Bethlehem, where Jesus was born."
