Thank you! Yes, the statue is wearing the only white helmet I could find.
This statue business is tricky.
The detailing in the great hall is.... Italian. Some liberties in pretending
dwarves build like Vitruvius, eh?
In fact I only decided this hall could be in Moria after Gandalf rode in on
an elephant. Oliphaunt!
Grey as a mouse,
Big as a house,
Nose like a snake,
I make the earth shake...
If you'd ever met me,
You wouldn't forget me.
If you never do,
You won't think I'm true;
But old Oliphaunt am I,
And I never lie."
So Gandalf lost the Oliphaunt and became, well, Gandalf.

Wow, you nailed it. Those are the columns! The "Chamber of Mazarbul" has
been decaying on my desktop for over a year, unphotographed until the
Company wandered in.
