The term 'statue setting' can refer to two different crossword solutions: ALCOVE (6 letters) and NICHE (5 letters). An ALCOVE is a recessed area in a wall, often used as a seating area or for decoration. A NICHE is a shallow recess in a wall, usually used to display a statue or other artwork. Both alcoves and niches are popular settings for statues, as they provide a sheltered space for the statue to be displayed.
