One foreleg is lifted and drawn up, one hind leg trails behind, and the weight sits over the two feet still on the ground. The neck arches back while the animal is still walking, so that the muzzle tips skyward and the rack sweeps straight back from the head, level with it, instead of standing over it. The body is longer than the animal is high, which is unusual for a standing deer and is what makes the stride read. Everything is clear and polished throughout.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eThree Feet Down and the Head Thrown Back\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThree-point contact is a structural decision before it is a pose. The whole animal is carried on two feet and a trailing hoof, so the mass has to sit inside the triangle those three make or the piece leans, and the chest is therefore cut a little heavier than a deer's really is while the raised foreleg is drawn out fine. That trade is made at the shoulder, where a thickened section is easy to lose in the muscle. The rack is the other passage: it is carried straight back from the head and out over the body, unsupported along its length, so the beams leave the skull thick and thin out towards the tips, and the gap between rack and back is checked with the animal standing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt 140cm this needs a room with length in it as well as height: a hall, a landing, or the open middle of a big room. It reads from the side, where the stride and the thrown-back head make one long line, and it closes up from the front. Leave clear floor in front of the raised foreleg. Against a window the clear body fills with whatever is behind it; against a dark wall the silhouette hardens and every polished surface picks up a highlight of its own.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eThe Stride, the Colour and the Crate\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eSet aside 3–4 weeks for a standard piece and 5–6 weeks for a bespoke commission. The pose is settled at order, from this full stride to a standing animal with the head level, and the body can also be made as a hind, with the rack left off. A smoke, a green, an amber or a pale rose can all be run through the material, and a frosted finish is offered where the polish is too bright. Lying and grazing deer can be ordered at this scale for a group, and other heights can be cut. It arrives in one crate standing, with the rack cased separately and seated on site; take the weight under the barrel and never by a leg. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA stag mid-stride with its head flung back belongs with our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/deer-statues\"\u003edeer statues\u003c\/a\u003e; three hooves down and one raised lead to our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/animal-sculptures\"\u003eanimal sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e, and a clear stag in full stride joins our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/contemporary-modern-sculptures\"\u003econtemporary and modern 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\u003e135.6cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e140cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDepth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e37.3cm\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":54020752998747,"sku":"R254","price":9990.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/R254.jpg?v=1791313448","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/clear-striding-stag-cast-resin-sculpture-140cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
