{"product_id":"clear-horn-blowing-winged-figure-on-plinth-160cm","title":"Clear Horn-Blowing Winged Figure on Plinth - 160cm","description":"\u003ch3\u003eDescription\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe figure strides forward with one leg lifted clear of the ground, both wings swept up and back behind the shoulders, and a long slender horn held to the mouth with both hands. It is cast in clear resin throughout. Under it stands a plain square plinth, unmoulded and untextured, which carries most of the total height and leaves the figure at well above eye level.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWings, a Horn, and Nothing Underneath Them\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThree things on this piece reach out into air with nothing under them: the raised leg, the two wings and the horn. Each is a slender clear section and each is finished on both faces, since a wing seen from below is as visible as one seen from above. The horn is the finest of them and is made on its own and set into the hands, which is the only way it can be brought to a true taper along its whole length. The wings carry individual feathers cut in relief and their outer edges are dressed to a consistent thinness, so the sweep reads as one line rather than a row of separate points. The plinth is a separate element, dead square and dead flat, deliberately without ornament so that everything happening above it reads against nothing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBecause the plinth puts the figure above eye level, this is a piece for a room with height: a hall, a stair well, a landing, or the corner of a double-height space. It reads from directly in front, where the wings spread and the horn crosses the face, and it loses most of that from behind. Give it a plain wall and light from below or from one side, which fills the wings; light from straight above puts the face in shadow under the horn. Allow clearance for the wings on both sides.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003ePlinth, Finish and Bringing It Into the Room\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eOurs is a 3–4 week build as standard, and a 5–6 week build when the commission is bespoke. The plinth is offered in this white, a black, a grey stone or a dark timber, and its height is set at order, so the figure can be brought down to table level or taken up further. The figure alone is sold without a plinth. The figure can be tinted, honey or blue-grey for instance, and its wings and horn can be gilded on their own. Scale is set at order, and a mirror-image figure can be cut so two flank an opening. Figure and plinth are crated separately. The figure seats onto the plinth by hand, the plinth takes two to lift, and one person can carry the figure at the hips. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA winged figure sounding a horn belongs with our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/angel-statues\"\u003eangel statues\u003c\/a\u003e; a stride lifted clear of the plinth leads to our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/classic-sculptures\"\u003eclassic sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e, and a clear herald over a white plinth 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\u003e50cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e32cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDepth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e17cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBase\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e30 x 30 x 110cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOptically Clear Cast Resin with a White Plinth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Giant Sculptures","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54018539520347,"sku":"R127","price":3105.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/R127.jpg?v=1791309096","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/clear-horn-blowing-winged-figure-on-plinth-160cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
