King Nebuchadnezzar orders a golden statue of himself 90 feet high. The statue in the film however, is not Nebuchadnezzar, but 4th Century Christian Bishop Saint Nicholas of Myra, as evidenced by the fact that he is wearing the vestments of a bishop, carries a shepherd's crozier and carries a book and 3 apples (or 3 lumps of gold). The statue also also expresses the hand gesture of a priestly blessing.
