Its faces are rippled all over with wavy ridges, as if a stream had frozen mid-flow. Small insects are held at different points inside, strung out in a loose line from the high end down towards the tip. They have russet-red heads, fine thread-like antennae and slender jointed legs, and one carries pale buff wings. A plain black base comes with it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSmall Insects Caught in a Frozen Stream\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe ripples run in long, uneven waves across both broad faces, so the insects are glimpsed through a surface that seems to stir as you shift your position. Their colouring is warm and natural: rust-red heads and legs, tan and brown bodies banded with darker rings, and wings of a pale, papery buff. Each insect sits on its own with clear resin all round it, which makes it easy to study up close. The black base is a plain rectangle with a smooth satin finish, deeper from front to back than the rock, which stands back from its front edge.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSmall enough to share a bookshelf with a row of books, or to stand at the corner of a desk, it rewards a close look, so it belongs in a study, a reading corner or on a hall table by the door, wherever people stop and lean in. Daylight from a window beside it picks out the russet heads, and a pale wall keeps the edge of the black base crisp. Indoor use only.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eChoosing the Specimens, Then Delivery\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eFrom order, a standard piece runs to 3–4 weeks and a bespoke commission to 5–6. This is sold as a single rock with its black base, and the price covers exactly that. As a bespoke piece it can hold more insects or fewer, one insect alone at the centre, or dried leaves and seed heads instead, while the base can be made in timber rather than black and the whole piece can be drawn up at another size. Rock and base arrive nested together in a fitted box lined with foam, ready for a shelf as soon as the wrapping comes off. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSmall insects caught in a rippled wedge of clear resin above a black base bring a naturalist's eye to our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/resin-sculptures\"\u003eresin sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e, our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/abstract-sculptures\"\u003eabstract sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e and our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/indoor-sculptures\"\u003eindoor 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\u003e25cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e36cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDepth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e8cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBase\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e40 × 20 × 4cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHigh-Clarity Resin with Small Insects on a Black Base\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Giant Sculptures","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54273706197339,"sku":"N158","price":2023.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/N158.jpg?v=1791472294","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/clear-insect-wedge-rock-resin-sculpture-on-black-base-40cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
