Hoa Hakananai'a is a human torso and head, with shrunken arms. The ratio of the head to torso is about 3:5, giving the overlarge head which is typical for moai. Originally the empty eye sockets would have had coral & obsidian eyeballs, and the body was painted red and white. However the paint was washed off during its removal from the island.
