You might try a product from a hardware store called "Fix-All". Comes in a powder form, you add water, mix, and spread it on. Drys quite fast to a light tan color. Ypou'll have to get creative to match the texture ot the statue, and either try to match the color of the statue to paint the repair, or maybe use a slightly different color and paint around the whole base? Just some thoughts, Ed
