A deer's head and long neck rise out of a smooth teardrop-shaped mass that sits directly on the floor, and every surface of it is clear and polished, so the room shows through it. The rack is the event: it is very long, it carries a dozen or more tines, and it sweeps up and back from the crown on a long diagonal, so the animal is far broader than it is deep. The head itself is modelled plainly with no detail beyond the ears and the eye.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eA Long Rack Swept Up From the Crown\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA rack held out on a long diagonal is a cantilever, and that changes what has to happen at the skull. The beams are longest exactly where they are least supported, so the section at the base of each is set by what it has to carry rather than by what a deer's antler looks like, and the taper is then run out along the beam so the eye reads a natural sweep instead of a thickened root. The clear resin is the other constraint and it is unforgiving: a polished clear surface shows every ripple beneath it, so the whole teardrop is brought to a single continuous curve before the final polish, and the join between the neck and the mass is worked away entirely rather than blended.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is a floor piece for a room with width to spare. The rack reaches out well past the head, so it wants an open wall, the middle of a large room or a broad landing, and it will not sit in an alcove. Clear resin has no colour of its own and borrows the room's: in front of a plain pale wall the animal reads as a bright outline, and in a room with colour in it the whole rack picks that colour up. Keep it away from a walkway where the tines are at hip height.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFinish, Scale and Getting It Home\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt takes 3–4 weeks to make as standard, and 5–6 weeks to make bespoke. It can be left clear as here, frosted to soften the highlights, or tinted through with amber or smoke. The rack's spread is open and can be brought in for a narrower room, and the head can be cast with no antlers at all from the same neck and mass. Other sizes can be cut to order. It arrives in one crate with the rack cased separately and seated on site by hand; take the weight under the mass and never by a beam. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA clear deer head on a teardrop mass belongs with our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/deer-statues\"\u003edeer statues\u003c\/a\u003e; a rack rising from the crown in one long sweep leads to our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/abstract-sculptures\"\u003eabstract sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e, and a deer with neither body nor legs joins our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/animal-sculptures\"\u003eanimal 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\u003e120cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e98.3cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDepth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e41.1cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOptically Clear Cast Resin\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Giant Sculptures","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54020754702683,"sku":"R268","price":5197.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/R268.jpg?v=1791314956","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/clear-deer-head-with-a-swept-antler-rack-120cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
