The composition is not complex, however, it represents a scene treated by many men of word and fine arts - a howling wolf. Here relief carving is applied and the background - of a tree and a night sky with a bright moon standing high behind the tree branches - is made with the help of toning.
This composition of a wood grouse and a dog (laika) carved on a moose antler is an example of mixed carving technique. The figure of the wood grouse stands out carved in the antler and the figure of the dog is an additional element, a sculpture carved in wood.
This moose antler composition represents a scene from the life of the Wild, wolves chasing a moose. The idea was to create the mood and the effect of movement which involved careful study of these animals' anatomy, movement and video shootings made in the Wild.
