{"product_id":"clear-gilded-lion-relief-column-sculpture-131cm","title":"Clear Gilded Lion Relief Column Sculpture - 131cm","description":"\u003ch3\u003eDescription\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis square column of clear resin is flecked with gold, and up its front climbs a gilded relief: a bird perched beneath a canopy of broad leaves, a low mound under it, and a spray of twigs nearer the foot. On the cap sits a guardian lion with a gilded head. The lion is supplied with the column.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eA Bird Sheltering Under Gilded Leaves\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe leaves above the bird are the broadest gilding on the shaft, so each is cut with its veins and a turned edge to stop a wide area of gold reading as flat metal. Beneath them the bird is modelled enough to cast a small shadow on the clear ground, and the twigs nearer the foot are cut fine so the scene thins as it descends. The cap is squared to the base of the column rather than to the shaft, which keeps the lion upright to the room. No two columns place their flecks alike.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt 131cm the lion is met at shoulder height by someone standing, which makes it a column for an entrance, a turn of the stairs or a doorway. Light raking across the face brings up the veins of each leaf, while a plain wall keeps the relief easy to read. Two can frame an entrance, each priced singly. It needs only a level floor.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eThe Canopy, the Lion and Getting It Home\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eGive it 3–4 weeks as a standard piece, or 5–6 weeks as a bespoke commission. Another scene can be cut in place of this one, or the shaft left plain with only its flecks, and silver or copper can stand in for the gilt. The lion may be gilded all over or kept clear. It is packed upright in one crate with the lion boxed on its own and set on the cap by hand; two people should lift the column. Order two and they are matched for the density of their flecks. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA column under a lion with a gilded head belongs with our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/lion-statues\"\u003elion statues\u003c\/a\u003e; a bird sheltering beneath a gilded canopy leads to our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/classic-sculptures\"\u003eclassic sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e, and gold flecks hung through the shaft join 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\u003e19cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e15cm\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\u003eBase\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e20 x 20 x 112cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOptically Clear Cast Resin with Gilded Relief\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Giant Sculptures","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54260618953051,"sku":"R330","price":4320.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/R330.jpg?v=1791316580","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/clear-gilded-lion-relief-column-sculpture-131cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
