The composition of a bear walking in an abandoned and desolate village carved as a background into the moose antler has a lyrical atmosphere about it. The bear is made with different techniques: part of the body is carved into the moose antler and the other part is a separate sculpture made of wood.
This is another interpretation of the bear-in-a-village scene with a slightly different representation of the background (the old tree trunk) and the bear's posture and gait. The master applied relief carving and toning.
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.
