I saw a cool SIGGRAPH paper on texturing by "accessibility".  What 
you want is for less accessible areas of the sculpture to be darker,
as they would have accumulated more dirt over the years that couldn't
easily be cleaned away by nature or by human agents.  The paper I
read gave some neat ideas for generating such textures for meshes
and heightfield objects, but it looked slow.  On top of that, 
you'd basically need to use a UV map of some sort to apply it to
a mesh.
