{"product_id":"clear-walking-stag-on-a-black-base-150cm","title":"Clear Walking Stag on a Black Base - 150cm","description":"\u003ch3\u003eDescription\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe stag in this resin sculpture is caught mid-stride: its hind legs are spread wide, one reaching forward under the body and the other stretched back, while the forelegs stand close together. Its head is up and turned slightly towards the viewer under a wide rack of antlers. Everything is clear polished resin, and the whole thing stands on a thin rectangular base in black that runs most of the animal's own length.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eA Stride Held on a Long Black Base\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA stride puts the four hooves far apart: the hind legs splay wide while the forelegs stand together at the front, so the animal's weight is spread along a long, narrow footprint, and one hoof standing fractionally proud would leave the whole stag rocking. All four soles are therefore ground against the finished base rather than a bench, first in pairs and then together. The base is why it works at all: it is long rather than wide, running from the trailing hind hoof to the forelegs, so the animal is carried on a footprint the eye reads as generous without the slab looking heavy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA walking animal has a direction and it should walk into the room, not along a wall. That makes an open floor, the middle of a hall or the far end of a large space the right positions and a corner the wrong one. Leave room in front for the stride to carry on into. At 150cm it is met at head height. Against planting or a window the stag carries whatever is behind it straight through its body; against a pale wall the black base is what anchors the animal.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eThe Base, the Rack and Getting It Upright\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eOrder a standard piece and it takes 3–4 weeks; order it bespoke and it takes 5–6. Rack width is settled at order, and the body can be cast as a hind. The base comes in this black, a white marble, a grey stone or a dark timber, and its length and thickness are both open. Colour can be carried through the material as an amber, a smoke or a soft green, and a frosted animal is offered. Grazing and lying stags in matching resin can be cast to accompany it. Any size is cut to order. Animal, rack and base travel in one crate packed apart and go together without tools; three people are wanted to stand it up. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA stag caught mid-stride on a black slab belongs with our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/deer-statues\"\u003edeer statues\u003c\/a\u003e; a tall rack of many tines leads to our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/animal-sculptures\"\u003eanimal sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e, and clear resin standing on black 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\u003e145cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e130cm\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\u003e103 x 40 x 5cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOptically Clear Cast Resin on a Black Base\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Giant Sculptures","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54019287351643,"sku":"R234","price":8640.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/R234.jpg?v=1791312235","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/clear-walking-stag-on-a-black-base-150cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
