Its head is a dragon's: a short muzzle, deep brows, and the mouth open wide enough to show the fangs and the tongue behind them. Spines run in a ridge from the horns, down the neck and the back, to the tail, which lies against the haunch as a flat scrolled plume. The material is clear right through, taken to a full polish, and carries nothing in it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eA Mouth Left Open\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eAn open mouth is a hole through a solid object and it has to be finished inside, where a tool can barely reach: the palate, the tongue and the back of the fangs are all visible from the front at this size, and any one of them left rough reads as a dark patch rather than as depth. It is worked with bent points and checked with a mirror. The spined ridge is the long passage. Each spine is separate and undercut, they diminish in size from the neck to the tail, and in clear resin the ones on the far side of the body are seen through it, so their spacing has to hold even where nobody would think to check.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA shelf, a desk or a cabinet top all take it at twenty-seven centimetres, and the front is the side to meet it from, because that is where the mouth reads. Set it where light can come from the side or behind: the open mouth fills with light and the spines separate. Under a downlight the mouth goes black and the ridge closes against the back. It is a good object to put where somebody waits - beside a chair, on a hall chest - because it repays a second look at close range.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eThe Set, the Colour and What Arrives\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eOur workshops take 3–4 weeks over a standard piece and 5–6 over a bespoke commission. Four beasts make the set and no two are the same animal; they are cut to one hand, so the group can be built up whenever it suits. The body is clear as here, or an amber, a smoke or a green, and gold or silver leaf can be carried through the resin. A base is offered where a plinth is wanted, and the beast is made up to the height of a floor guardian. It arrives boxed with the horns and the spined ridge protected and nothing to put together; take it under the haunches, never by the head. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA beast with its mouth open on its fangs belongs with our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/classic-sculptures\"\u003eclassic sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e; a ridge of spines from horns to tail leads to our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/figurative-sculptures\"\u003efigurative sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e, and resin polished inside the open mouth 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\u003e27cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e18.2cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDepth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e10.2cm\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":54020858741083,"sku":"R321","price":1552.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/R321.jpg?v=1791316040","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/clear-fanged-beast-cast-resin-sculpture-27cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
