This composition of a wood grouse and a dog (laika) carved on a moose antler is an example of mixed carving technique. The figure of the wood grouse stands out carved in the antler and the figure of the dog is an additional element, a sculpture carved in wood.
This is a spacious carving representing a scene from wolves' life. The two wolves in the front are carved fighting, as separated sculptures made of wood, they are placed on a stand attached to the moose antler.
The sculptures of the animals (wood) in this composition of a forest-meeting scene are placed against the background of a big tree trunk the texture of which is also a special focus of the master's carving.
