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).
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.
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.
