According to the Starwars Wikia:



Who



That is an un-named Jedi.



Fallen ruins of a statue depicting a Jedi



Significance



I believe the point of this shot is to show 2 things:



  1. Jedi are an ancient and (once) great religion

  2. This planet was once significant to Jedi

Why is it now in ruins




As more of the galaxy was mapped, more direct hyperspace routes were
discovered. These new passages made the old, winding routes, such as
those connecting with Jedha, obsolete. The once-popular Jedha became
an antiquated curiosity rather than a relevant destination, a location
for those who desired spiritual guidance, a deeper purpose, or to
simply exile themselves from the larger galaxy.
