The breast is full and plain, the tail is short and fanned, and the feet grip a small polished metal disc. The resin is a translucent red that deepens through the body and brightens where the wings thin toward their trailing edges.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWings Up, and the Disc That Holds Them Down\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eTwo raised wings on a small bird put the mass high and behind the feet, so the piece wants to tip backward, and the answer is in the disc rather than in the bird: the metal is heavy for its size and the feet are set forward of the centre so the load falls inside the footprint. The bird is cut to sit on that disc and nothing else. The wings themselves are the slow passage. Each is thinned from the underside so the upper surface keeps its curve, and the trailing edges are cut as a fine serration that has to match wing for wing, because the two are seen together from behind and any difference reads as damage.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt 28cm this is a desk or windowsill piece, and the disc means it can go straight onto a polished surface with nothing under it. It reads from behind and from the side, where the wings separate, and closes up from the front. Set it where light comes past rather than down: the thin trailing edges glow and the body stays solid. On a dark surface the metal disc disappears and the bird looks as though it has landed on nothing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eColour, the Disc and What Arrives\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eCount on the difference between standard and bespoke: 3–4 weeks or 5–6. Colour is open at order: this red, an amber, a green, a blue or a colourless body, or a solid opaque bird where the light should not pass through. The wings are made raised as here, half open or folded, and the disc comes in this polished metal, in black stone, or the bird is made without it to stand on its own feet. Sizes go up to a garden bird. It arrives boxed with each wing supported and the disc packed separately; lift the bird under the breast, never by a wing. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA bird just landed on a metal disc belongs with our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/bird-sculptures\"\u003ebird sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e; a full breast and a fanned tail lead to our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/animal-sculptures\"\u003eanimal sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e, and polished metal under red resin joins our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/metal-sculptures\"\u003emetal 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\u003e20cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e28cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDepth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e21cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBase\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e10 x 10 x 1cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTranslucent Red Cast Resin on Metal\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Giant Sculptures","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54020811096411,"sku":"R290","price":1417.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/R290.jpg?v=1791315956","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/red-raised-wing-bird-on-a-metal-disc-28cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
