he finds that aside from the statue, the room is devoid of detail and completely smooth, leaving him to find out what about the room he must interact with in order to exit

A bit confused, Stefan checks over the room again before going back to the statue. It seems to be the only object of interest in here as far as he can see right now. He looks over the engraving again, then takes a closer look at the statue itself. He didn't know very much about sculpture, but he figured that perhaps there was some kind of clue on it or in it that even he could figure out. Others like him had managed it, right? So there had to be something.
