A statue is considered a secondary source because it is typically a representation or interpretation of an idea, person, or event rather than a direct artifact from the time it depicts. Unlike primary sources, which provide firsthand evidence (like documents, photographs, or objects from that era), a statue reflects the artist's perspective, cultural context, and purpose, making it a product of later interpretation. It can still offer valuable insights into the time and place of its creation, but it does not serve as an original record of historical events.
