The composition is not complex, however, it represents a scene treated by many men of word and fine arts - a howling wolf. Here relief carving is applied and the background - of a tree and a night sky with a bright moon standing high behind the tree branches - is made with the help of toning.
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.
These two wolves fighting are carved on moufflon horn fixed to a blackwood stand, the composition in general is a stand for a hunting knife (damascus steel).
The carved horn has a nice caramel and honey colour and wonderful tints and plays of colour can be seen under different light.
