Three spell-master statues marked P, B, G over distinct shapes, plus a defaced fourth. A puzzle, or lore disguised as decoration?
UnsolvedIn the Temple of the Art stand three statues of spell-casting masters: teleportation, blinding, and polymorphing.
Each is marked with a glyph over a distinct shape and holds an orb at a different height. Right-to-left the glyphs are P, B, G.
There is also a fourth statue, defaced, with only the bottom third remaining.
Teleportation, blinding, polymorphing masters; each glyph sits over a different shape; each holds an orb at a different position.
Only the bottom third of the fourth statue remains.
Two of the three glyphs line up with their mage. Teleportation = G is unexplained.
The common Temple-of-the-Art sarcophagi used to spawn a ghoul when approached; their script broke, so the devs kept them as decoration (per a dev message on the Noita Discord).
A scarce variant (only ~2 found) has three glowing red eyes and glyphs unlike the known legend; its rarity suggests significance and it may tie to the game's three-eye motif.
These statues and nearby background doors bear glyphs that match neither of Noita's two known glyph languages.

The P/B/G glyphs may correspond to the shapes/objects (egg, vase, mountain?) each statue holds, not to the mage type.
Several solvers note the unmatched glyphs resemble unique wand sprites, hinting you may need to bring or use particular wands at the statues. Source: u/Rantar508, u/Nombre_D_Usuario
Kick or carry an Orb to the red-eye statues, possibly at a specific death count (the night-sky star count equals deaths). One thread even aligns the statue's orb and stars with sky structures as a route to a 'natural' 34th orb. Source: u/Winged_Blade, u/ShwaMallah
The defaced statue may be a master of technology (grounding), struck from the record by mages who saw technology as a perversion of magic.
It may not be an interactive puzzle at all, but lore the order of masters passed down.
