It was probably already in pieces and was just disassembled while being removed. It would be hard to cast a statue like that as once piece.

Those aren't cuts.

They used to be joins, now they're unjoined. Like any puzzle, it could be reassembled. Probably the safest way to remove it without damage.

Leave the rest of it and design different upper bodies to swap out periodically. Sell the rights for a new revenue stream. Taylor swift coming to town for a concert? Put her bust up there. WWE? Put up whoever the popular wrestler is at the time. Matrix 4? Boom! Neo or Agent Smith.
