Someone defaced the statue by adding facial features. For a little while it has a smiling persona, but over time it will become faceless again.

The graffiti adds a final indignity to a work of art that has been previously assaulted by time itself. The features have been worn off by the many hands that patted this tiny face over the centuries.
