{"product_id":"clear-lying-stag-with-swept-back-antlers-61cm","title":"Clear Lying Stag with Swept-Back Antlers - 61cm","description":"\u003ch3\u003eDescription\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe stag in this resin sculpture lies with its legs folded away beneath the body, its neck raised and its head tipped back until the muzzle points straight up. Instead of rising, the antlers sweep straight back from the crown, almost level, and run out above the line of the back towards the haunch, so the rack is carried low rather than over the head. It is colourless and polished throughout.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eAntlers That Reach Out at Knee Height\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eAntlers swept back over a lying animal are the awkward case, because they are unsupported over their whole length and they end up at exactly the height a passing hand travels. Section is the answer and it has to be judged rather than calculated: the beam is cut heavier at the brow than a standing stag's would need, and each tine is brought to a blunt rather than a needle tip, which costs a little of the silhouette and is worth it. Each antler is made on its own and fixed into the skull, and its reach is checked with the animal lying rather than on a bench, since only in that position can the gap between the lowest tine and the back be seen at all.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eYou look down on it, which puts it on a hearth, a coffee table or the floor beside a chair rather than anything at waist height. From standing height the tipped-back head and the swept rack read as one long curve, and that is the reading the pose was cut for. Keep the end of the rack clear of a walkway, since it reaches further back than it looks. Against a dark floor the silhouette comes forward and the polish shows as a run of highlights; on a pale carpet the animal picks up the colour beneath it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eAntler Reach, Colour and Placing It Low\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eOnce ordered, a standard piece takes 3–4 weeks and a bespoke one 5–6. How far the antlers reach is decided at order, and the lying animal can be made with no antlers at all. The angle of the head can be brought forward to rest on the flank. The resin will take a rose, a green, a smoke or an amber, and the polish can be replaced by a frost. A standing or a grazing stag in the same polish can be made to go with it. Any size is cut to order. It travels lying in a fitted crate with each antler cased apart and seats by hand; two people should place the body and one carries the antlers. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA stag at rest with its legs folded belongs with our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/deer-statues\"\u003edeer statues\u003c\/a\u003e; antlers swept back almost level lead to our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/animal-sculptures\"\u003eanimal sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e, and a low clear piece to set beside a hearth 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\u003e61cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e58cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDepth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e28cm\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":54019288432987,"sku":"R237","price":3645.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/R237.jpg?v=1791312246","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/clear-lying-stag-with-swept-back-antlers-61cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
