Almost all the detail is gone: there are no separate ears to speak of, no modelled muscle, and the animal is carried by two sweeping curves that meet at the shoulder. It is colourless and polished throughout and it sits low and wide rather than upright.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eAn Animal Made of Two Curves and Nothing Else\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA form with this little on it has nowhere to hide. Two curves that meet have to meet cleanly, and the join at the shoulder is the single place where the piece can go wrong: a flat spot there breaks both curves at once, and on a polished clear body a flat spot announces itself as a kink in the reflection long before anyone can see the shape is off. So the shoulder is worked last, with flexible pads that ride the curve, and it is judged by turning the piece under one lamp and watching how the highlight runs: unbroken means the curve is unbroken too. The throat is the other difficulty, being concave and continuous, and it is finished with shaped tools before the head is brought to its own grade.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA low wide piece belongs on a low wide surface: a coffee table, a hearth, a broad window ledge, the floor beside a chair. It is seen from above as much as from the side, which is unusual and worth using, since the two curves cross when you look down on it. On a dark surface the outline reads clearly; on a pale one the animal almost merges with what it lies on. It suits a bedroom or a quiet sitting room rather than a hall, where it would be looked down on and passed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003ePose, Colour and Placing a Low Piece\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn the workshop a standard piece takes 3–4 weeks and a bespoke commission 5–6. The head can be thrown back as here or rest on the flank, and the fawn can be made standing. Tints run through the resin in amber, smoke, green or a pale rose, and a frosted finish is offered in place of the polish. A lying doe and stag can be made to set with it as a group. Any scale is cut to order. It lies in its crate as it lies in a room, so nothing has to be fitted. Two should lift it, hands under the body and never at the neck. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA fawn lying with its muzzle tipped skyward belongs with our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/deer-statues\"\u003edeer statues\u003c\/a\u003e; two clean curves meeting at the shoulder lead to our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/animal-sculptures\"\u003eanimal sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e, and polished resin to see from above 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\u003e50cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e60cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDepth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e20cm\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":54018539979099,"sku":"R157","price":5872.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/R157.jpg?v=1791309141","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/clear-fawn-lying-with-head-back-resin-sculpture-60cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
