Its head is down at the floor as though feeding, and the muzzle finishes below the line of its own front knees, which puts the longest part of the animal along the ground rather than up in the air. It is optically clear resin throughout, legs included, with no base and no plinth under it. Seen from the side the neck and back make one continuous fall from the rump to the nose.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eA Head Carried Right Down to the Ground\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA grazing pose puts the mass in the wrong place for a casting. Most of the weight ends up forward of the front legs, so the animal wants to tip on its nose, and the correction is made in the section rather than in a hidden weight: the haunches are left heavier and the neck is thinned toward the muzzle until the piece stands on its own four feet. Clear resin makes that visible, since a wall that changes thickness changes colour, and the change has to be gradual enough to read as anatomy. The four feet are then ground flat together on one plane, because a deer standing on three of four legs is the fault everybody notices and nobody can unsee.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA head-down animal reads as calm where a head-up one reads as alert, so this suits a room people sit in rather than one they pass through. It wants a hard level surface: the four feet are small and a soft pile lets one of them sink until the piece leans. Set it broadside on and give it space in front of the muzzle, since the head is the part that reaches out. Light from above finds the line of the back; light from the side finds the legs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eNeck Angle, Body Tint and Standing It on a Hard Floor\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eMost pieces are standard and take 3–4 weeks; a bespoke commission takes 5–6. The neck angle is set at order, from this full graze to a half-raised head, and it changes the footprint as much as the mood. A tint can be run through the body in a smoke, an amber, a green or a soft blue, and the animal is offered frosted rather than polished. Size is cut to order. A stone or timber block can be added under the feet where the floor is uneven. Delivery is a single fitted crate, the animal on its side with the neck supported, and one person can take it out. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA deer feeding with its nose below its knees belongs with our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/deer-statues\"\u003edeer statues\u003c\/a\u003e; one unbroken fall from rump to nose leads to our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/figurative-sculptures\"\u003efigurative sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e, and clear resin run through the legs 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\u003e65cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e75cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDepth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e30cm\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":54017122730331,"sku":"R002","price":4522.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/R002.jpg?v=1791303996","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/clear-grazing-deer-cast-resin-sculpture-75cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
