The shoulders are up, the head is down and forward, and the chest hangs low between the front legs. Everything is optically clear and polished, with no leaf and no tint, so the animal is read entirely as a set of surfaces catching light.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat the Missing Block Costs\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eTaking the block away changes what has to be finished. On the mounted version the underside of the chest sits close to its block and is never properly seen; here it is clear of the floor, in the open, and visible from any low angle, so it is worked and polished to the same grade as the flank instead of being left as a bearing surface. The four feet also stop being a mounting problem and become the only contact: they are ground flat against a reference plate so the animal sits without a rock on a hard surface, and the pads are cut in rather than smoothed over, because at this size a bare foot looks unfinished. And doubling the size doubles the clarity problem - twice the thickness of clear resin shows half as much again of any cloud.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWithout a block it reads as a creature that belongs in the room rather than a piece displayed on a stand, so the floor suits it: next to a chair, under a bookcase, or on a hearth. It is also the one piece in this family that can go on a rug, where the mounted versions would look stranded. Side light or window light suits it; a ceiling spot does not. On a dark floor the outline separates and the polish reads as highlights; on a pale one the whole animal softens.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eAdding a Base, Colour Options and Delivery\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eReckon on 3–4 weeks for a standard piece, or 5–6 weeks for a bespoke one. A stone or timber block can be added under it and the feet are then pinned rather than ground, which is a different object and is made to order. Tints of amber, grey and green run through the resin, leaf in any of the three metals can be worked into the casting, and a frosted finish is offered instead of the polish. The standing, sitting and glancing dogs can be made at this bare size to match. Scale is open in both directions. It arrives in a fitted crate with nothing to put together and is a one-person lift taken under the body, not under the head. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA dog crouching low with no block beneath it belongs with our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/animal-sculptures\"\u003eanimal sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e; a head carried down and forward leads to our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/figurative-sculptures\"\u003efigurative sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e, and clear resin left bare of leaf 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\u003e28cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e27cm\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":54018539716955,"sku":"R134","price":1754.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/R134.jpg?v=1791309111","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/clear-head-down-dog-cast-resin-sculpture-28cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
