This composition was made applying the technique of relief carving and cut carving. The dimentional effect is achieved thanks to the figures of the animals which are made of wood as separate sculptures.
This is a composition depicting a sudden encounter of a huge bear and a boisterous and bold Laika (Russo-European Laika, a "barking" dog), one of the favourite hunting breeds with Russian hunters.
This is a bolo tie/belt buckle depicting a bear in the blossoming bushes, fixed onto a wooden stand made of fumed oak.
