She has no antlers. The whole animal is optically clear and polished and she sits directly on the surface she is put on.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eLegs That Disappear Under the Body\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eFolded legs are harder than standing ones because they have to be there without being seen. Each leg is fully modelled and then tucked, which means the knees, the hocks and the pasterns are all cut and finished in spaces a tool can barely enter, and every one of those spaces is visible from a low angle even though none is visible from standing. The join where the foreleg goes under the chest is the single test: too soft and the animal looks inflated, too crisp and the leg looks stuck on. It is worked with shaped points and checked by turning the piece over, which is the only position from which it can be seen at all. The ears are cut thin and open, with both faces polished, because the light comes through them.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA lying animal is looked down on, so this belongs low: the floor beside a chair, a hearth, a broad low table. From standing height the turned head and the open ears are the whole piece, which is the view it was cut for. It suits a bedroom or a quiet room rather than a hall. On a pale carpet the clear body picks up the colour beneath it and warms; on a dark floor it reads as an outline. Give it a little clear space in front of the head, which is where she is looking.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003ePose, Ear Set and Two-Person Handling\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eOur workshops take 3–4 weeks over a standard piece and 5–6 over a bespoke commission. The head can turn further, look straight ahead or swing round to the flank, and the same lying pose can be made as a stag with antlers. Ears can be brought closer to the head for a resting animal. Tints of amber, smoke, green and a pale rose run through the resin, and a frosted finish is offered instead of the polish. A fawn can be made to lie beside her. Any scale is cut to order. She travels lying in a fitted crate with nothing to fit, and two should carry her with hands under the body, never at the neck or an ear. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA doe lying with her legs folded away belongs with our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/deer-statues\"\u003edeer statues\u003c\/a\u003e; a head turned over open ears leads to our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/animal-sculptures\"\u003eanimal sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e, and a long clear body to look down on 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\u003e72cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e90cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDepth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e35cm\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":54018539946331,"sku":"R156","price":8775.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/R156.jpg?v=1791309137","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/clear-doe-lying-with-legs-folded-resin-sculpture-90cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
