This is a composition depicting a bear and two wolves' interaction.
Wolves and bears can coexist peacefully, they often avoid each other but their interactions can be quite violent when, for instance, they fight over animal carcasses or when a bear gets too close to the wolves' den and they may attack.
Let's leave it to the viewer's imagination why the fight depicted in this carving is happening......
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.
