These two wolves fighting are carved on moufflon horn fixed to a blackwood stand, the composition in general is a stand for a hunting knife (damascus steel).
The carved horn has a nice caramel and honey colour and wonderful tints and plays of colour can be seen under different light.

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.
