{"product_id":"clear-gilded-lion-relief-column-sculpture-156cm","title":"Clear Gilded Lion Relief Column Sculpture - 156cm","description":"\u003ch3\u003eDescription\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA gilded guardian lion sits on the flat cap of this square column of clear resin, and gold flecks are scattered through the shaft beneath it. Its front carries a gilded scene: a single bird on a slender bare branch above a low mound, and nearer the foot a spray of blossoming twigs. Lion and column come as one piece.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eA Bare Branch and a Spray of Blossom in Gold\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe upper scene is drawn with very little, one branch, one bird and a mound, so every line has to be cut cleanly in a single pass, since gilding over clear resin shows any hesitation. The blossom near the foot is the opposite, a crowd of small flowers and buds, each one raised and gilded separately so the spray reads as many points of gold rather than a smear. The lion is seated on a flat cap cut square to the shaft, and the gold flecks in the resin are kept sparse around the scenes so the relief stands out against clear ground.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt 156cm the lion sits just below a standing visitor's eye, so the column belongs on the floor: an entrance hall, the foot of a stair or one side of a doorway. A plain wall behind keeps the gilding legible, and light from one side brings the relief forward. Two of them make a formal pair at an entrance; each is priced singly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eBranch, Blossom and Getting It Home\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA standard piece takes 3–4 weeks to make, and a bespoke commission 5–6. The relief can show other subjects, from bamboo to a band of characters to your own wording, or be omitted so only the flecks remain, and the gilding can be silver or copper. The lion can be gilded all over, as here, or left clear. The column travels upright in a long crate, its lion in a box of its own to be set in place on arrival; two people should raise it. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA gilded guardian lion over a clear relief column belongs with our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/lion-statues\"\u003elion statues\u003c\/a\u003e; a bird on a bare branch above blossom leads to our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/classic-sculptures\"\u003eclassic sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e, and gold flecks scattered through clear resin 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\u003e20cm\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\u003e21cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBase\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e20 x 20 x 135.5cm\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":54260618887515,"sku":"R329","price":4995.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/R329.jpg?v=1791316572","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/clear-gilded-lion-relief-column-sculpture-156cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
