Athena stands beside him with spear and shield, and a winged Victory rises above the pair holding out a wreath. A stepped plinth is carved from the same block and takes the load.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFigure Sculpture Carved Fully in the Round\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is not a relief. It is cut fully in the round, and every projecting element is free stone: the spear shaft, the wreath, the eagle wings and Victory's own wings all stand away from the mass with nothing behind them. The stone reads bright white throughout, close grained, and is left without polish.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBecause this is carved on every face it needs to be seen from more than one side: the centre of an entrance hall, a garden roundel, a courtyard, an orangery, or the head of a formal axis where the approach view matters. Set against a wall it becomes a relief by accident and the free-standing spear and wings stop making sense.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003ePlacing a Stepped-Plinth Group Indoors or Out\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eNine weeks. Every projecting element is free stone with nothing behind it, so the spear shaft, the wreath and both sets of wings are the slowest and the most fragile part of the work. The scale is made to your setting and the stepped plinth is included; it can be cut as a single block. The three figures stay as grouped. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops. About 455kg, crated upright, and it is set on a level prepared pad.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMore work in the round is under \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/figurative-sculptures\"\u003efigurative sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e, with the rest in \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/marble-sculptures\"\u003emarble 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\u003e150cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBase\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIncluded\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHand-Carved Natural Marble\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Giant Sculptures","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53815687184731,"sku":"MST-REL-026","price":19758.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/MST-REL-026_1.jpg?v=1787053654","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/zeus-athena-and-victory-marble-group-sculpture-150cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
