Hi

Maybe you can put an stone texture on your sculpture, and then a spherical
semitransparent texture which
simultates dust on the the statue, and dont forget some Bump Mapping, does not have
to be much, but it gives
a bit more structure, or when it should be completly even, use a littlebit reflection
and put any texturing Feature
onto the Statue you can find in Povray, that makes allways a good look.

greetings Lars
