The curls frame its face and run down the back of the neck. The resin is a cobalt blue, darkest in the curls of the mane and clearing to a paler sky blue across the chest and the legs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eA Small Lion in Deep Cobalt\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt this size the curls of the mane are cut with fine tools, and in a strong blue each needs real depth to keep a shadow, or the head reads as a single dark shape. The blue is carried in the resin itself, darkening where the casting is thickest and clearing where it thins, with nothing painted on. The whole lion is taken to a high polish, which lets the blue catch the light along every curve. The depth of blue varies a little from casting to casting, so each lion has its own shade.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt 21cm the lion is made for a desk, a bookshelf or a mantelpiece, close to where it will be seen. A pale ground lets the blue read as colour rather than as a dark outline. Light from above or beside fills the mane with shadow and makes the clearer passages glow. Set it facing the room so its face, not its flank, greets people.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eBlue Depth, the Facing Pair and Delivery\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eMost pieces are standard and take 3–4 weeks; a bespoke commission takes 5–6. The blue can be taken deeper or paler, and teal, amber or clear with gold leaf are offered in its place. This is one animal; ordered twice, with the second cut as its mirror, it makes a traditional facing pair. Scale is cut to order, and the curls can be made heavier or kept close to the head. A sleeved box brings it ready to stand, light enough to carry in one hand. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA small cobalt guardian lion seated square belongs with our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/lion-statues\"\u003elion statues\u003c\/a\u003e; a mane of deep curls leads to our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/figurative-sculptures\"\u003efigurative sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e, and blue resin clearing at the chest 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\u003e21cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e12cm\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\u003eBlue-Tinted 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":54259997278555,"sku":"R092-2","price":1753.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/R092__2.jpg?v=1791306852","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/cobalt-blue-seated-guardian-lion-resin-sculpture-21cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
