Inside, ridged bands spiral round the hollow like the whorl of a sea shell, catching the light at every turn. The amber runs from a bright gold where the resin is thin to a deep red-orange through the thickest parts of the curl. A tall, square column of black marble carries it, and comes with the shell.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eA Spiral Whorl Inside a Curling Amber Lip\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA shell form lives or dies by the spiral inside it, and here the ridged bands are deep enough to read from across a room. They wind inward from the curling lip, each ridge carrying a line of highlight and each trough a band of darker colour, so the hollow seems to turn even when the piece is still. Its glassy polish, inside and out, lets light pass through the thinner walls and pool as gold while the heavy outer curl stays a saturated red-orange. Below it the marble is cut as a plain square column with a polished top, a dark mirror that catches the amber from beneath.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt 133cm overall the shell sits a little under eye level for most adults, so it belongs on the floor, in an entrance hall, on a stair landing or beside a reception counter, where people pass close by. Daylight from a window to one side, or a spotlight from above, drives light into the spiral and makes the ridges glow. A pale or neutral wall keeps the black plinth crisp and the amber vivid, and the piece rewards being walked round, since the curl and the whorl show differently from each side.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eAmber Depth, the Marble Column and Shipping\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhere the piece is standard the build is 3–4 weeks, and where it is bespoke 5–6. The resin can be tinted deeper towards red or paler towards honey, or cast clear so that the spiral reads in highlights alone, and the column can come in a white or grey stone instead, or be cut to another height. The shell can also be scaled to suit a grand hall or a narrow alcove, with its spiral kept in proportion. Shell and column travel in separate crates, and the shell is lifted with both hands beneath its rounded belly, never by the lip or the inward fold. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSpiral ridges wound inside a curling amber lip, high on black marble, connect this shell with our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/resin-sculptures\"\u003eresin sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e, our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/organic-sculptures\"\u003eorganic sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e and our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/contemporary-modern-sculptures\"\u003econtemporary and modern sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ctable class=\"spec_table\"\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e43cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e49cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDepth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e23cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePlinth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e55 x 55 x 90cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCast Amber Resin on a Black Marble Plinth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Giant Sculptures","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54361047564635,"sku":"H372","price":3241.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/H371__2.jpg?v=1792007238","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/amber-curled-shell-resin-sculpture-on-black-plinth-133cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
