• The Statue has a 35-foot waistline.
• There are seven rays on her crown, one for each of the seven continents, each measuring up to 9 feet in length and weighing as much as 150 pounds.

• At the feet of the Statue lie broken shackles of oppression and tyranny.
• During the restoration completed in 1986, the new torch was carefully covered with thin sheets of 24k gold.
• The exterior copper covering of the Statue of Liberty is 3/32 of an inch thick (less than the thickness of two pennies) and the light green color (called a patina) is the result of natural weathering of the copper.
