Colossus

Statue

A statue is a free-standing sculpture in which the realistic, full-length figures of persons or animals are carved or cast in a durable material such as wood, metal, glass, marble, or stone. Typical statues are life-sized or close to life-size. A sculpture that represents persons or animals in full figure, but that is small enough to lift and carry is a statuette or figurine, whilst those that are more than twice life-size are regarded as colossal statues.

List of tallest statues

This list of tallest statues includes completed statues that are at least 50 m tall. The height values in this list are measured to the highest part of the human or animal figure, but exclude the height of any mast, spire, or other structure that extends higher than the tallest figure in the monument.
