This is a bolo tie/belt buckle depicting a bear in the blossoming bushes, fixed onto a wooden stand made of fumed oak.
The bolo tie is in a private collection, Alabama (the USA).
This composition was made applying the technique of relief carving and cut carving. The dimentional effect is achieved thanks to the figures of the animals which are made of wood as separate sculptures.
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.
