{"product_id":"clear-horse-head-on-a-cut-stem-70cm","title":"Clear Horse Head on a Cut Stem - 70cm","description":"\u003ch3\u003eDescription\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe head is cut off cleanly at the throat and set on a narrow stem that rises from a small foot, so the whole piece reads as a head lifted into the air rather than a bust on a plinth. The mane is thrown back from the crest in long separate locks with air between them, each one twisted and coming to a point. The face is modelled plainly by contrast: a straight profile, a small muzzle and no bridle. Head, stem and foot are one piece of clear resin, polished all over.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eA Mane Cut as Separate Locks\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe locks are the work. Each is a thin twisted section standing clear of the ones beside it, and in a transparent material the gaps between them matter as much as the locks themselves: a gap that closes up reads as a casting fault, and one that opens too far leaves the mane looking combed. They are set out from the crest and cut from the tip back toward the neck, which is the only direction that lets the tool reach between them. The stem is deliberately the opposite. Its outline is left notched and broken like rough rock where the head above is modelled smooth, and the change happens right at the throat, so the eye reads two materials where there is only one.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt seventy centimetres the head comes to chest height on a console or a sideboard, which is where it belongs; on the floor the stem reads as a stalk and the piece loses its lift. It faces one way and the mane closes up from behind, so set it turned into the room. Light from one side separates the locks and fills the gaps with shadow, and a window behind puts a line of light down every one of them. Keep the space above it clear: the mane is the tallest thing on the piece and a shelf close over the crest cuts it off.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eThe Stem, the Colour and What Arrives\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhether it is standard or bespoke sets the build: 3–4 weeks or 5–6. Mane treatment is settled at order, from these open locks to a smoother mane laid against the neck, and the stem can be made straight, twisted, or replaced with a squared plinth. Colour runs from this clear body to an amber, a smoke or a green, and gold leaf can be suspended through the stem alone. The head is made at any height from a table piece up to well over life size. It arrives in one fitted crate standing upright with the mane packed clear of the walls and nothing to assemble; lift it by the stem, never by the mane or the muzzle. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA horse with its mane twisted into locks belongs with our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/horse-sculptures\"\u003ehorse sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e; a head lifted on a rugged stem leads to our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/animal-sculptures\"\u003eanimal sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e, and head, stem and foot cast together 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\u003e70cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e55.2cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDepth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e27.2cm\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":54020752867675,"sku":"R245","price":3105.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/R245.jpg?v=1791313423","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/clear-horse-head-on-a-cut-stem-70cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
