In English: The right foot of the statue which measures 2.80 meters of the heel has the part that rises from the ground and near which the guardian appears a dwarf, which nevertheless measures 1.64 meters. When the statue was exhibited in Paris before being shipped to America, the copper strips forming a sole had been removed and the opening served as the entrance to the statue.
