Default question about"both sides"

thanks.
I have another question.

if i say: A beautiful entrance with two bay windows on both sides. (that would be four windows right?)

compared to : A beautiful entrance with bays windows on both sides.

let me make a better example.
Heading towards the archway, I saw two statues on both sides.(that would be four, correct?)

and: Heading towards the archway, I saw a statue on both sides.(that would be two, correct?)

(O)n both sides doubles the number.
I am of the same opinon.


Heading towards the archway, I saw two statues, one on both sides. -- 1 on each side

Heading towards the archway, I saw two statues on both sides. -- 4 statues
