{"product_id":"blue-and-purple-combed-mane-horse-resin-sculpture-69cm","title":"Blue \u0026 Purple Combed Mane Horse Resin Sculpture - 69cm","description":"\u003ch3\u003eDescription\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA horse's head and forequarters, the neck arched and the mane swept back in deep parallel grooves, the body opening into an arch between the front legs. Blue runs the head and the shoulder and goes to purple down the legs, with metallic flecks caught through the body. Below the combed mane the body is left smooth, so the grooves read as the one worked surface on the piece. It stands on a plain black block, which is supplied with it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eOne Worked Surface, One Left Alone\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA worked surface set directly against an unworked one is a harder thing than either on its own, because the eye reads the rough as a fault the moment the smooth is beside it. The grooves in the mane are cut with a consistent pitch and everything around them is left as it came, so the mane is the only part of the animal that has been decided rather than found. The mane is combed into deep parallel grooves and the rest of the body is left rough, so the casting has to carry a worked surface and an unworked one side by side. The mane is cut and polished and everything else is left coarse, which is what makes the grooves read as hair.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA console, a sideboard or a writing table, turned so the arch under the body is seen side on. A pale ground behind it. The arch between the legs is the whole composition and it needs something to open against. Side light finds every groove in the mane; light straight on flattens the mane into a single plane. The head and the arch carry from across a room, and the flecks in the body are entirely a near fact.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCombing It Deeper, and Delivery\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eReckon on 3–4 weeks for a standard piece, or 5–6 weeks for a bespoke one. The mane is combed deeper or left plain, the purple is carried higher, and the arch is opened wider. Comb the mane deeper and the head reads heavier, so the arch below is opened to carry the extra weight in the eye. Crated on its side, it is stood up again only where it is to stay, on a level surface. One person, taken around the body, and the legs are not handholds. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA horse's head and forequarters with a combed mane stand in our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/indoor-sculptures\"\u003eindoor sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e; the cut, combed treatment suits our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/contemporary-modern-sculptures\"\u003econtemporary and modern sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e, and the blue and purple casting joins our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/resin-sculptures\"\u003eresin 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\u003e69cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e59cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDepth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e25cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBlack Block\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e–\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCast Resin Graded Blue to Purple, on a Black Block\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Giant Sculptures","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54102712713563,"sku":"Z510","price":3172.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/Z510.jpg?v=1790877179","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/blue-and-purple-combed-mane-horse-resin-sculpture-69cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
