Where the resin thins, through the chest and down the flank, the colour clears to a glassy blue-green, and above an open mouth the mane is a crown of close curls.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eDeep Teal Curls Over a Carved Ball\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith a colour this deep, the carving has to carry the detail that light carries in a clear casting. Every curl is cut back until it holds a pocket of shadow, while the ball's open pattern is taken deep enough to read under the paw. Teal collects in the thickest parts of the casting, so the mane and paws read darkest and the chest stays bright. Trapped air is checked for on every casting, since a single bubble in teal glints like a pin of light.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt 38cm the lion fits a sideboard, a deep sill or a hall chest. Its companion is the teal lion that keeps its ball beneath the opposite paw, and the two flank an entrance or a fireplace as a pair. A pale wall or light oak keeps the teal from closing into a silhouette, and side light brings the curls forward. Alone, place it so the ball is the first thing a visitor sees.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eTeal, the Companion Lion and Delivery\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA standard piece takes 3–4 weeks to make, and a bespoke commission 5–6. Lighter aqua or a darker teal can be poured instead, and the same model also comes in blue, in amber and in clear resin set with gold leaf. One animal is priced here, so a pair needs its companion ordered too, made to the same size. Sizes other than this one are quoted on request. A fitted crate carries it singly, and a single person can raise it by the haunches. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA teal guardian lion with a carved ball under its paw joins our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/lion-statues\"\u003elion statues\u003c\/a\u003e; its curled mane and open mouth suit our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/figurative-sculptures\"\u003efigurative sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e, and a teal so dark it nears black 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\u003e38cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e33cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDepth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e24cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTeal-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":54259997147483,"sku":"R090-2","price":2563.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/R090__2.jpg?v=1791306832","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/deep-teal-guardian-lion-with-ball-under-one-paw-resin-sculpture-38cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
