This is a composition depicting a sudden encounter of a hunter with his dog and a huge bear, deep in the woods. The subject was inspired by the work of the famous Russian wildlife artist V.Gorbatov.
This is another interpretation of the bear-in-a-village scene with a slightly different representation of the background (the old tree trunk) and the bear's posture and gait. The master applied relief carving and toning.
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).
