{"product_id":"red-banded-lion-column-cast-resin-sculpture-133cm","title":"Red Banded Lion Column Cast Resin Sculpture - 133cm","description":"\u003ch3\u003eDescription\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eSaturated translucent red and solid all the way through rather than hollow, this cast resin column carries three narrow bands turned into it just below the cap. On the cap sits a lion of the same material, square on its haunches with the mane in curls and one forepaw resting on a ball. The red reads deepest at the centre of each face and brightest along the four vertical edges, which stand out as light lines the whole height of the piece.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eColour Held in a Solid Section\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA solid shaft does something to colour that a hollow one cannot. Through a section this thick the red at the middle of a face is several times deeper than the red at its edge, and that difference is the whole effect. That is the effect the piece is for, and it means the section cannot be cut back anywhere without the colour going with it. The bands are the exacting passage. They are turned into the shaft rather than applied, and each has to run true right round four faces and meet itself at the corner, where any wander shows against the arris. The lion is worked separately and seated last, and its colour is matched to the shaft with both parts finished.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt a hundred and thirty-three the shaft is a floor piece and the lion arrives at about eye level, which is where it wants to be. A hallway, a stair foot, an alcove or either side of an opening all suit it, and it needs a level floor. Two of them facing each other is the traditional arrangement and the price here covers one column. The colour wants light behind it rather than above it, so a window across the hall does more for it than a downlight, which finds the cap and leaves the shaft flat.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003ePairs, Colour and Getting It Home\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eDelivery follows a 3–4 week build as standard, or a 5–6 week build if bespoke. The shaft is made in this red, in an amber, in a green, or with no colour in it at all, and the shaft can be made hollow where the weight of a solid section is not wanted. The animal on the cap is made as this lion, as a plain sphere, or left off for a bare capped column, and the bands can be turned deeper or omitted. Other heights can be cut to order. It ships upright in a fitted crate with the lion packed apart and seated by hand on site; take the shaft by the body and never by the cap or the animal. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA solid red shaft beneath a curly-maned lion belongs with our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/lion-statues\"\u003elion statues\u003c\/a\u003e; three turned bands below the cap lead to our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/classic-sculptures\"\u003eclassic sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e, and a solid shaft glowing red 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\u003e133cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e18cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDepth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e18cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSolid Translucent Red 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":54020754473307,"sku":"R262","price":4590.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/R262.jpg?v=1791313476","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/red-banded-lion-column-cast-resin-sculpture-133cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
