Two things are black and everything else is colourless: the antlers, and the legs, which run from clear at the body down to black at the hooves. A block of black marble carries it. The clear body takes almost no light of its own, so the two black passages are what the eye reads first and what fixes the pose.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eTwo Black Elements Against a Colourless Animal\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eCasting an animal clear is harder than casting it opaque, because clear resin hides nothing: a void that would never show under paint reads as a grey cloud in the flank, and the mould has to be filled from the lowest point so air is pushed ahead of the resin rather than trapped behind it. The antlers are the other difficulty. They branch, they are thin, and they carry no load, which means they cool faster than the body and want to pull away from it; they are therefore made separately and set into the skull, which is also why they can be a different colour at all. The legs pass from clear at the body to black at the hooves in one gradual shift, with no line where one colour stops and the next begins.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA stag at this height belongs on a table or a console instead of the floor, and it asks to be seen from the flank, where the raised neck and the backward sweep of the antlers read as one line. Put it where something dark sits behind it and the clear body appears as an outline; against a pale wall the antlers do the work on their own. The marble block gives it enough weight to stand on a polished surface without sliding. Leave room behind the head for the antlers to reach into.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eAntler Colour, Block Choice and How It Arrives\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eGive it 3–4 weeks as a standard piece, or 5–6 weeks as a bespoke commission. The antlers are offered in this black, a bronze, a silver or clear to match the body, and the legs can be left clear to the hooves so the animal reads as one material throughout. Tint through the body is available in a smoke, an amber or a soft blue. The block comes in this black marble, a white marble or a dark timber, and its depth is set at order. Size is cut to order. Animal and block travel separately in one crate, the antlers cased in their own tray, and the three go together on site with no tools. One person can carry each part. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA stag with black antlers swept over its back belongs with our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/deer-statues\"\u003edeer statues\u003c\/a\u003e; its upright, watchful pose leads to our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/figurative-sculptures\"\u003efigurative sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e, and clear resin darkening to black hooves 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\u003e60cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e40cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDepth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e40cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBase\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e25 x 20 x 6cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOptically Clear Cast Resin with Black Marble\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Giant Sculptures","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54017122566491,"sku":"R001","price":2159.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/R001.jpg?v=1791303985","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/clear-stag-with-black-antlers-cast-resin-sculpture-66cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
