Not if they're good protestants. Depending on what edition you have, statues for prayer violates either the 2nd or 3rd Commandment. Thou shall not make graven images and bow down and worship them. Some versions forbid even making a pile of rocks.

Are statues of Mary of Nazareth and crucifixes blasphemy on the 2nd Commandment?
Absolutely not! If they are idolatrous, then everyone on earth who has photos of family members, sports heroes or teen idols around the house is also guilty of blasphemy. Statues or pictures of saints or crucifixes are simply aids to prayer. They help us focus our prayer or meditation. Who can look at a crucifix without remembering the extreme sacrifice of Jesus Christ to save our souls from sin? We do not worship statues or crucifixes. Worship belongs to God alone. They are simply spiritual aids.
