The left hand of the statue points to the South, and the right points to the North. Initially, the statue was planned to be exactly 33 metres (108 ft), one metre for every year of Jesus Christ's life. However, an extra 44 centimetres (17 in) was added as "well-coiffed" hair atop Christ's head, making it taller than its brother in Rio de Janeiro.
