At the top of it the head tips back so the muzzle points up and away. The rack is light and open, two beams with a few tines and no great spread, and the ears sit out level below it. The legs are the thinnest part of the piece by a long way, and the body is clear right through, taken to one grade of polish from muzzle to hoof.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eA Neck Held Vertical Over Four Fine Legs\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA vertical neck is the hardest line to get right on a deer, because nothing about it invites the eye to make allowances: any lean at all reads as a fault rather than as a pose, and it has to be true from the front and from both sides at once. It is set with the animal standing on a flat bench and sighted along, then cut back a little at a time from the throat, where the section can be lost without the outline moving. The legs are the other constraint. They carry the whole animal on four points of no great area, so each is thickened where it meets the body and drawn out below that, and the four are brought to length together rather than one at a time. The polish goes last, in five grades, and the underside of the barrel takes as long as the back.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt eighty-eight centimetres the animal is met at about waist height, so it sits well on the floor beside a chair, on a low chest, or on a hearth with clear space above the head. Leave room over the muzzle: the pose runs upward and a shelf close over it stops the whole line. It is at its best with a window to one side, where the clear body picks up the daylight and the legs almost disappear. On a pale floor the outline softens; on a dark one the animal is drawn in light.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003ePose, Colour and How It Travels\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eTime separates the two: a bespoke commission takes 5–6 weeks, a standard piece 3–4. The angle of the head is chosen with the order, whether this raised muzzle, a level gaze or a grazing pose, and the body can be cut as a hind without antlers. The resin will take a pale rose, an amber, a green or a smoke, and a frosted finish is offered in place of the polish. Other heights can be cut to order, so a group can be set together at different scales. It travels standing in a fitted crate with the legs braced and nothing to assemble; take the weight under the barrel and never by a leg or the rack. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA stag holding its head high with the nose raised belongs with our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/deer-statues\"\u003edeer statues\u003c\/a\u003e; a neck held upright over fine legs leads to our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/animal-sculptures\"\u003eanimal sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e, and colourless resin given one grade of polish 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\u003e87.5cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e43cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDepth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e25.4cm\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":54020751950171,"sku":"R242","price":2699.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/R242.jpg?v=1791313408","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/clear-head-up-stag-cast-resin-sculpture-88cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
