The horse is taken to a smooth finish and the rock is left faceted and rough, so one object carries two entirely different surfaces with nothing separating them but the place where they meet. Both are colourless, which means the difference reads as texture and not as material.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eOne Material, Two Finishes, and the Line Between Them\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA single material finished two ways is harder than two materials joined, because there is no seam to hide behind. The boundary has to be decided by hand on each piece: too crisp and the horse looks stuck onto the rock, too soft and the rock climbs the hooves. It is worked so the rough facets die out just under the fetlock, which is where the eye expects the ground to be. The smooth half is the slower half. Clear resin taken to a high finish shows every scratch left by the grade before it, so the flank and the barrel go through four or five abrasives and then a polish, while the rock is cut with a coarse tool and deliberately left where the tool put it. Legs this slender on a clear body are also unforgiving of any cloudiness, so they are the first thing checked and the commonest reason a casting is set aside.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt this height the horse belongs on a desk, a shelf or a chest rather than the floor, and it wants a spot where light can come from behind: a colourless animal in front of a window reads as an outline with a bright rim, which is the best view of it. On a dark surface the rock becomes the solid part and the horse appears to float above it. It suits an office or a study, where it can be looked at from a seated height and from one side rather than walked round.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eRock Height, Tint Options and What Arrives\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eDelivery follows a 3–4 week build as standard, or a 5–6 week build if bespoke. The rock can be made deeper or brought down to a low pad, and the horse can stand on a plain block instead if the geological version is not wanted. Tints run through the whole piece in amber, smoke or a soft green, and the horse alone can be tinted with the rock left clear. Frosting either half is offered. Scale is cut to order. It ships as one item in a fitted crate with nothing to assemble, and one person can lift it, taking it under the rock rather than by a leg. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA clear horse standing on a block of broken rock belongs with our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/horse-sculptures\"\u003ehorse sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e; a lifted head and arched neck lead to our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/figurative-sculptures\"\u003efigurative sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e, and one material finished two ways 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\u003e45.5cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e15cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDepth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e15cm\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":54017626833243,"sku":"R059","price":2429.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/R059.jpg?v=1791305489","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/clear-standing-horse-on-rock-cast-resin-sculpture-46cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
