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).
This is a composition depicting a bear and two wolves' interaction.
Wolves and bears can coexist peacefully, they often avoid each other but their interactions can be quite violent when, for instance, they fight over animal carcasses or when a bear gets too close to the wolves' den and they may attack.
Let's leave it to the viewer's imagination why the fight depicted in this carving is happening......
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.
