Well the statue is a symbol of Mythal , golden statues like this often means ancient elves origin too...But with what we've learned in Trespasser , it's not a surprise some ancient dwarves might have statues of elven gods.
Nice touch though.
Good eye! I keep forgetting Mythal has a dragon statue too (my first thought always runs to Tevinter when I see them 
).
Some pics of my favorite glitches 
Skyhold is freakin' huge when you get out of the castle.
There's a youtube that sets it up easily, just jump out of the gate at the end, more or less, but this can take a few times to get it right. Once you're outside you can see just how massive an area it is.

I wonder if this was originally supposed to be developed. You can get out all the way to the mountains in the distance, but since you can't ride a horse, it's very hard when the ground gets like glue. But I've worked my way out to the edge. It took 2 hours, roughly.
Then you get over to the side, where you can see Skyhold waaaaaay off in the distance below with the purple missing texture. This is only about 10 percent out to the edge.
Behind where she stands, this is the huge area where they get stuck in the snow on the way to Skyhold when leaving Haven.

If you keep going, you get out past all the mountains to a plains type area that gets very rough. I had to use the level 1 evade technique to make her jump over all of it, since I can't use the horses here.
Seriously, the glitches in the game are as big if not bigger than the playable areas. Emprise is just as big as Skyhold, mostly unused. What was originally planned, I wonder?
I couldn't resist, so I went OOB out of Skyhold, and BrandofTime is correct...its huge.
Fell through the world - Result:
Went into tactical mode while falling and was able to get this view of Skyhold:
Pretty fun stuff. Gonna check out other places as well.
Have any of you running around Skyhold found that wooded area that the Quizzy has his tryst with Cass? It's supposed to be around the castle. Which I always thought was silly.

Also, that Mythal statue is very reminiscent of Fen'Heral's statue at the beginning of the Elven Ruins, which was a key to move the bridge. You could have found a key to a secret passage - interesting.

I haven't found any trees around Skyhold...yet.
Accidentally found myself under the Forbidden Oasis and found some interesting stuff...
Also found a lone black box under the Forbidden Oasis... I saw one similar to this beneath Val Royeaux, but that one killed you the moment you touched it. This one however... you could get in.

Hmm... maybe worth a return visit. However, I jumped on the candle a bunch of times hoping it'd be like the "Smallest Cave" quest... nada. 
Well, since we're doing general OOB area explorations, here are a couple of my faves. Hrungr, with your trainer, you could probably do both in just one jump. I had to do it the hard way.
You've got a good technique though! I don't think I've seen that way before... This might be a good way for console users to get OOB.
This isn't out of bounds, but I was wondering if there's a special significance attached to this field of mushrooms:
I've only stumbled upon it once. I was quite surprised, thinking I'd seen every area in my prior playthroughs.
Dragon Island Dwarven Ruin
I'm laughing over the fast-forward over bunch of fail 
Oh, I came across those mushrooms, too. I am not aware of any special significance, but who knows what the devs might have had in mind.
*Edited to add* The red fly mushrooms, like those ones, do have a significance in the real world, though. They're considered lucky in Germany and Austria, and I think possibly the Netherlands, too.
Where do you think I learned it from?You've got a good technique though! I don't think I've seen that way before... This might be a good way for console users to get OOB.
Guy on PS4 made a vid with the jump-and-tactical trick.

Yes, the grove is there. I had to go to the other side of the mountain on which Skyhold rests. Quite a bit of jumping to get around from the bottom, nothing else works. So after 20 min or so, I got up to an area that's behind the war room in Skyhold on the mountain. I could see parts of Skyhold and hear the sound effects. The zone had changed so that my weapons and evade ability were disabled just like being in the castle. Suddenly a wall just appeared about 20 ft or so from Skyhold, (not kidding) and I went around it and found the grove from the sequence. It's very small actually, but I'll try and post a pic or two later. They made all of it so that as soon as you walk away, it pops out of existence. I guess if we could have seen it from the balcony at Skyhold, a great many of us would have died over and over again trying to get there
I'm going through my DA posts on tumblr (I'm retagging my Inquisitors) and found the pics from when I accidentally went OOB in the Emerald Graves.
No idea how I managed this...
The rock below me just vanished O.o
One moment, I'm on the rock, next moment, I'm IN the rock.
The lumberjack pic I was talking about

You always find the weirdest things.
In the Storm coast, you can actually jump over a part of the mountain on the small island where the dragon is and exlpore the rest of it. The island is about 4 times the size of the area you get to see, why they did this, I don't know. Just like having Skyhold be in a land mass roughly the size of the Hissing Wastes and not accessible.
On the way up to where the dragon is, the path twists and turns, but there is one area where the rocks are just low enough along the path to actually jump using level one evade and get to the other side. The companions won't follow, but it is entirely walk-able. It gets a bit rough out at the edges, but you can look out across the water at the rest of the Storm coast where you play at the beginning. Plus, the mount is really useful in the sticky areas.
Found another secret (and ridiculously hard to get into...) room in the Winter Palace (Trespasser DLC).
This one is laid out like the entrance to Royal Wing, with the addition of a large meeting table with maps and loot.
Thanks for the tips
I tried to go OOB in the Hinterlands, but somehow didn't know which hill was meant, so I went OOB at the pier
I went there as well
Found this in MP Also found a wooded area that seems to show something like Stonehenge in the distance but was so far off I gave up.
Also if you beat the High Dragons in a certain way, they just give up and become your pal.
Wonder if they planned on war table missions but scrapped the idea in the end?Another cool find. ☺Found another secret (and ridiculously hard to get into...) room in the Winter Palace (Trespasser DLC).

There is some seriously trippy stuff in this thread, like that cube. WTF?
Yeah, it certainly looks like the makings of a War Table. I wonder if the position of the pieces on the Ferelden map had any significance...
I also noticed that normally gold pattern on the table looks like it had been burned off... Not saying it has any significance, but thought it was just a bit odd.
And as far as the weird, glowy, sparkly mist in cube goes... I don't even.

Could it be the room where the Inquisitor talks with his/her advisers in Trespasser? I remember a map on a table during that time, like the war room, but we couldn't interact with it.

If you mean the room they meet in at the very end, that was definitely a different room. If it was during another one of their group talks... hmm, I'll have to go through some video to find out.
EDIT: Yep - good eye! It looks like that is the room you meet your advisors in during the game (before the ending).
