How about making so that it actually looks like one of the founder of the village or give it some clothing customization options?
Or maybe more statues, for example the chieftain riding a horse that stands up on the hind legs.
More statues in general would be nice, just as decoration, maybe authority gain/cost like the chieftain statue.
It looks really boring and most people would prefer to decorate with mannequins instead as it is now.
