Material and Base:It is generally cast in bronze or brass and mounted on a high, square or cylindrical pedestal. The base is often constructed from polished stone, with a plaque providing biographical details. The height of the statue and its base ensures that it is visible from a considerable distance, dominating the traffic circle it occupies. The design choice reflects a sense of austerity and respect for the leader's common man image. : -
