I read the book in middle school (so it was published before 1980). I can't remember the whole story very well but it was about a girl who discovered a sort of secret garden that had statues in it. One of the statues wore a ring and somehow came to life and I think the statues name was Dominique.

It's not The Enchanted Castle, or Secret Garden, those have both been suggested and I've read them recently.

Please help! It was a really great story, some kind of mystery to be solved, and it's stayed with me all these years!

Possibly Court of the stone children? The statues are at a museum and the girl who finds them has to go back in time to help Dominique solve a mystery about her family.
