{"product_id":"clear-and-amber-hooked-whale-tail-resin-sculpture-91cm","title":"Clear \u0026 Amber Hooked Whale Tail Resin Sculpture - 91cm","description":"\u003ch3\u003eDescription\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eSmooth, polished clear resin forms this whale's tail, rising in one long curve from a broad foot cut at a slant. At its top the trunk bends over into a hooked crest, ridged in amber, and from there a long fluke reaches out to the opposite side, tapering to a pointed tip that deepens from amber to orange-red. Under the fluke runs a thin, pale lobe with a small point of its own.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eA Hooked Amber Crest Over a Smooth Clear Curve\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eEverything about this tail is drawn as one continuous line. The trunk is polished smooth rather than rippled, so its outline runs unbroken from the slanted foot up to the crest, catching long, clean highlights on the way, and the crest bends over like the turn of a wave before the fluke carries the line out to the other side. Amber gathers in the crest, where the resin folds into ridges, then runs the length of the fluke and darkens to orange-red near the tip, while the clear trunk beneath keeps all of the colour lifted high on the piece.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eStand it on the floor of a hallway, a reception area or a broad landing, turned so that the hooked crest and the long fluke are seen side on, with clear space beyond the tip. Light from one side, whether a lamp or a window, brings out the long highlights on the polished trunk and the warm amber in the crest, and from straight ahead the tail reads as a slim clear curve with a flash of colour at the top. Indoor use only.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eThe Crest, the Amber and Delivery\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eOur workshops take 3–4 weeks over a standard piece and 5–6 over a bespoke commission. On commission the amber can run deeper into the crest or be held to the fluke alone, the orange-red tip brightened or toned down, and the trunk given rippled facets in place of its polish. The fluke can be drawn out further or turned more steeply, and other sizes are possible, the curve kept in proportion. The crate stands it upright with the crest and the fluke tip padded; to carry it, hold the trunk with one hand beneath the foot, never the fluke. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA smooth clear trunk hooking into an amber crest and a long pointed fluke carries this tail into our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/organic-sculptures\"\u003eorganic sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e, our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/resin-sculptures\"\u003eresin 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\u003e73cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e91cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDepth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e63cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCast Clear Resin with a Hooked Amber Crest and Fluke\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Giant Sculptures","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54371921887579,"sku":"H461","price":5019.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/H461.jpg?v=1792092753","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/clear-and-amber-hooked-whale-tail-resin-sculpture-91cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
