{"product_id":"clear-stag-with-head-thrown-back-112cm","title":"Clear Stag with Head Thrown Back - 112cm","description":"\u003ch3\u003eDescription\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThough all four hooves are planted, the head is thrown right back, so the muzzle points almost straight up and the antlers sweep back and up over the shoulders. Seen from the side the neck makes one long unbroken curve from the shoulder to the nose, and that curve is the piece. The material is optically clear, polished all over, and the legs are cut fine.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eThe Longest Single Curve on the Piece\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eOne long curve with nothing on it is the hardest thing to finish on a clear body, because a break in it shows as a break in the highlight from several metres away. The neck runs about half the height of the animal and it is worked with flexible pads that ride the whole length in one pass rather than in sections, since a join between two passes leaves a flat that no amount of polishing afterwards will remove. It is judged by turning the animal under one light and watching the highlight run from shoulder to nose without a stutter. The antlers sweep back from the crown with nothing beneath them, so each beam is cut with enough section at the skull to carry its reach, and the tines are dressed last.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA thrown-back head reads from the side and only from the side, so give this a wall to stand along or the length of a room rather than a corner. It is a floor piece. Put a window behind it and the whole neck lights along its curve, which is the best of the piece. Leave clearance behind the head: the antlers reach back over the animal's own shoulders and further than the silhouette suggests. On a dark floor the curve reads as a single bright line.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eNeck Angle, Colour and Two-Person Handling\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eMost pieces are standard and take 3–4 weeks; a bespoke commission takes 5–6. How far back the head is thrown is set at order, from this full throw to a raised alert head or a grazing one, and the same body can be cut as a hind with no antlers. Tints of amber, smoke, green and a soft blue run through the resin, and a frost is offered in place of the polish. A lying or a walking stag can be made to stand beside it. Any size is cut to order. Body and antlers arrive apart in one fitted crate and go together by hand; two people place the animal, taking it under the chest and the haunches. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA stag whose muzzle points straight up belongs with our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/deer-statues\"\u003edeer statues\u003c\/a\u003e; a neck that bends from shoulder to muzzle leads to our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/animal-sculptures\"\u003eanimal sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e, and clear resin polished in a single pass 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\u003e112cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e55cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDepth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e30cm\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":54019286204763,"sku":"R226","price":3915.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/R226.jpg?v=1791312221","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/clear-stag-with-head-thrown-back-112cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
