The sculpture depicts a hunting scene where a person is aiming a rifle at a bear. The bear stands on its hind legs with its mouth open. The hunter is dressed in a red outfit with gold embellishments and a decorative hat, kneeling on one knee as he takes aim. The bear is a dark brown color with intricate detailing to represent its fur and features a lighter patch of color around its belly. The sculpture is made from a material painted to resemble earthy colors, likely wood or a wood-like substance. The base of the sculpture is green, simulating grass or earth. The detailed carving and painting create an interaction between the hunter and the bear, with the scene unfolding at eye level for the viewer.
