The body is optically clear and polished throughout, and the legs, which carry all of it, are long and slender.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eAn Animal Finished for a View From Below\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt this height the animal is not looked at, it is looked UP at, and that changes which surfaces matter. The underside of the barrel, the inside of the thighs and the undersides of every antler tine are the parts a viewer actually sees, and on a table-sized animal those are the surfaces that get the least attention. Here they get the most: they take the same grade of polish as the back, which nobody will ever see, and the tines are dressed on their undersides first. The rack is the other constraint. It is heavy, it is wide, and it is made separately and seated at the skull, with the seat cut deeper than a table-sized animal's would be so that the weight is carried inside the join rather than at its lip.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt 217cm the room comes first: an atrium, the well of a staircase, a lofty hall or a large open floor, with clearance above the rack and space to walk right round. Measure the doorways and the ceiling before anything else. It is at its best with light from below or from the side, which is what fills the surfaces a standing viewer sees; a downlight lands on the back and leaves the whole underside of the animal grey.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eRack Weight, Colour and Getting It In\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eWork on a bespoke commission runs to 5–6 weeks, on a standard piece to 3–4. Rack weight and spread are set at order, and the animal can be made with a lighter head or as a hind with no rack. A tint through the resin is available in amber, smoke or a soft green, and a frosted finish is offered where the polish is too bright at this scale. Any height can be cut to order. Bases in stone, steel or timber can be added. It arrives in two crates, the body standing and the rack laid flat, and seats by hand on site; four people and a level floor are wanted to raise it. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA walking stag under a towering rack belongs with our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/deer-statues\"\u003edeer statues\u003c\/a\u003e; an animal finished for a view from below leads to our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/animal-sculptures\"\u003eanimal sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e, and clear resin polished beneath as well as on top 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\u003e217cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e106cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDepth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e90cm\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":54019288367451,"sku":"R236","price":28960.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/R236.jpg?v=1791312240","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/clear-stag-with-a-heavy-rack-held-high-217cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
