Waitaminute; the statue like thing she's holding bears a marked resemblance to a one-shot character from one of the Doraemon movies.
I'm talking about the one where Doraemon and crew visit prehistoric Japan, only to discover that a criminal from the far future has taken refuge there in an attempt to change history to his liking.
The statue-thing is a character serving the main villain in that Doraemon movie.
Yes, there was a living statue character essentially identical to the one pictured in the Doraemon movie Nippon Tanjou. The design is based on historical statues from ancient Japan and has some association with Mei (see also post #273677).
