Morphology

statue + maker

The phrase is a straightforward compositional noun phrase: 'statue' (a sculpted figure) + 'maker' (one who makes), so the meaning 'a person who makes statues' follows directly from the constituents. This is a productive, cross-linguistically common compounding pattern in English and would be readily understood by a B1 learner who knows both words.

Etymology

The phrase statue maker comes from the clear image of an artist shaping a statue, a figure meant to stand in a square, and the maker who carves or casts it. So, it means 'an artist who creates statues'.
