This carving depicts the fight between two mighty animals, the bear and the tiger. This is my original interpretation in bone of V.Gorbatov's painting.
На этом роге изображен бой между двумя могучими животными, медведем и тигром. Это моя оригинальная интерпретация в кости картины В.Горбатова.
This composition of a wood grouse and a dog (laika) carved on a moose antler is an example of mixed carving technique. The figure of the wood grouse stands out carved in the antler and the figure of the dog is an additional element, a sculpture carved in wood.
This is another version of one of my favourite compositions the center of which is 2 mooses fighting. Cut carving technique allows to make the carving light and the atmosphere airy.
Every version of this composition is not a simple repetition of the same subject but a new treatment of the scene and the material as every new moose antler dictates the forms and movements and carving lines and techniques to be applied.
