If an external effect that animates an artifact is used on the Statue, you get a 4/4 artifact creature which can becomes a 3/6 artifact creature during the combat phase.

It can only make itself into a creature during combat phases and therefore it is difficult to get Auras placed on it.
8/1/2005
A delayed triggered ability that refers to Jade Statue still affects it even if it's no longer a creature. For example, if Jade Statue blocks the
Kashi-Tribe Warriors
("Whenever Kashi-Tribe Warriors deals combat damage to a creature, tap that creature and it doesn't untap during its controller's next untap step."), the Warriors' effect stops Jade Statue from untapping.
8/1/2005
If Jade Statue's ability has been activated, abilities that trigger "at end of combat" will see Jade Statue as an artifact creature.
8/1/2008
A noncreature permanent that turns into a creature is subject to the "summoning sickness" rule: It can only attack, and its {T} abilities can only be activated, if its controller has continuously controlled that permanent since the beginning of his or her most recent turn.
