All of it is carved out of one rectangular panel, with a shallow sill projecting along the foot.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWall Sculpture Carried Almost to Full Round\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is relief taken as far as it can go before it becomes sculpture in the round. Arms, the tambourine and the thyrsus stand completely clear of the panel with daylight behind them, and only the backs of the figures remain attached to the ground they were cut from. The marble is a bright even white, matte to satin.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBecause the figures come so far forward this wants a wall with depth in front of it: a panelled recess, a loggia, a stair hall, an orangery or a sheltered courtyard elevation. Set flat against a corridor wall it will be brushed past and the projecting limbs are the first thing to suffer.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eAn Integral Projecting Base Along the Foot\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eNine weeks. Cutting this deep into a single panel is slow because every projecting limb has to be released without weakening the ground behind it, and the sequence cannot be reordered once begun. The panel size is yours to set, and the sill along the foot can be run deeper or left off. The group is not rearranged. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops. About 455kg, crated upright, and it needs an engineered fixing into masonry.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMore figure carving is in \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/figure-art\"\u003efigure wall art\u003c\/a\u003e, and the deepest panels sit with \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/wall-sculptures\"\u003ewall 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\u003e150cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHand-Carved Natural Marble\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Giant Sculptures","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53815987732827,"sku":"MST-REL-079","price":19752.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/MST-REL-079_1.jpg?v=1787053724","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/bacchic-group-marble-relief-wall-art-150cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
