The Colossus of Rhodes was made of shaped bronze plates fastened to an iron framework. It was said to be 70 cubits (105 feet [32 metres]) tall, and it depicted the sun god Helios. Many representations of the statue depict the figure as nude or semi-nude, except for a cloak, and a representation in one relief suggests that the figure was shielding its eyes with one hand.
