This statue is made of copper and brass as well as a mixture of steel in certain parts to be coated with mosaic gold weighing 4,000 tons. With a height of 75 meters and a width of 60 meters then you will be stunned to see the size of the head of an eagle that is truly gigantic. Hard to imagine this will shape eagle as a whole, which would be very big. Adult body size just still less than the size of an eagle's ear. Today most of these sculptures can be seen at the site in the form of half of the statue of the god Vishnu and the head of an eagle.
