This is a composition of a chase of a wild boar by wolves.
It is carved into the mammoth tusk which is fixed onto the wooden stand.
The animals are caught in movement, and make the focus of the composition. Besides, the background of the forest is of no less importance in this scene, which can be observed in careful and detailed finish of the branches and leaves and their position enhancing the tension of the scene.
This composition in which separate sculptures of the animals (the whole or a part of the body) are used has the effect of space and movement. The boar and the dogs are carved of wood and are fixed onto the moose antler which is carved as a wood background.
