{"product_id":"clear-standing-cat-cast-resin-sculpture-40cm","title":"Clear Standing Cat Cast Resin Sculpture - 40cm","description":"\u003ch3\u003eDescription\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eChest out and square on all four legs, the cat in this resin sculpture has its head turned to one side as though something has caught its attention. Behind it the tail swings out and up in one long curve, thickening slightly towards the tip, and the tip finishes at about the height of its own back. The body is optically clear and polished, with the ears, the muzzle and the paws the only worked detail on it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eA Tail Held Up as the Whole Silhouette\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eAn upright tail is the one element on this animal with nothing under it, and it is also the tallest thing on the piece, so it decides both the silhouette and the risk. Section is the answer: the root is cut heavier than a cat's tail would really be and the taper is carried out slowly, so that the shape reads as a tail from across a room and survives a knock close to. The tip is rounded rather than pointed for the same reason. The turned head is the other exacting passage. It is a small movement - twenty degrees at most - and the neck has to shorten on one side and stretch on the other for it to look intended rather than accidental, which is judged on the finished animal against a straight one.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA standing cat reads from the side and from three-quarters, and the turned head only makes sense from the side it is turned away from, so put it where people pass rather than face it. At 40cm it suits a hall chest, a wide shelf or the floor beside a chair, and at this size the cat can sit straight on a rug with no surface under it at all. Give it light from the side: a downlight lands on the back and leaves the face and the chest flat. On a dark surface the tail reads as a line and the animal separates cleanly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eTail Set, Colour and What Comes in the Crate\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eLead times run 5–6 weeks bespoke and 3–4 standard. Tail set is decided at order, upright as here, curled round the forelegs, or laid along the ground. The head turn is open in either direction. Colour options are a smoke, a green, an amber and a pale rose carried through the material, or a frosted surface in place of the polish. The stretching cat is made to match this one at a greater scale. Sizes above and below this are both cut to order. One fitted crate holds it upright with the tail cased, nothing is assembled on site, and one person lifts it under the chest. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA cat standing with its head turned aside belongs with our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/cat-statues\"\u003ecat statues\u003c\/a\u003e; a tail raised in one long curve leads to our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/animal-sculptures\"\u003eanimal sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e, and a polished colourless body 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\u003e40cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e37cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDepth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e36cm\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":54019272573275,"sku":"R188","price":2159.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/R188.jpg?v=1791309965","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/clear-standing-cat-cast-resin-sculpture-40cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
