This Moai stands almost 9½ feet tall. It was removed from the small Ahu One Makihi platform on the south side of Easter Island, within what is now the Rapa Nui National Park and UNESCO World Heritage Site. This location is close to the famous Rano Raraku Crater quarry, where most of the Moai were carved straight out of the volcanic rock, between 600 and 350 years ago, by the Rapa Nui people.
