The name Hoa Hakananai'a means "stolen friend" in Rapa Nui ". The stone statue is about 2.42 meters high and weighs 4.2 tons. It is made of basalt. It presents typical moai features, with a long nose, deep concave eyes and closed lips. There are carved patterns and symbols on the back of the stone statue. This huge stone statue was originally erected on the Oru Stone Altar in the village of Oru Mehta on Easter Island. However, during an expedition by British explorers in 1868, it was brought to England and eventually displayed in the British Museum.
