This is a composition depicting a sudden encounter of a huge bear and a boisterous and bold Laika (Russo-European Laika, a "barking" dog), one of the favourite hunting breeds with Russian hunters.
Это композиция изображает внезапную встречу огромного медведя и смелой лайки (русско-европейская лайка, «лающая» собака), одной из излюбленных охотничьих пород русских охотников.
The Three Howling Wolves....The center of this composition are three holwling wolves, 2 mature wolves and a cub, they are placed against the background of an evening moon lit sky and amid the bushes.
These animals never stop provoking my adoration and desire to get to know them closer and better.
I can't but remember and mention Never Cry Wolf, a book by Farley Mowat which is a real eye-opener on Wolves for us.
This is a spacious carving representing a scene from wolves' life. The two wolves in the front are carved fighting, as separated sculptures made of wood, they are placed on a stand attached to the moose antler.
