This is a sculpture made of smooth grey and white marbled stone. A bear and hunter are entangled in a wrestling match, with the bear overwhelming and on top of the hunter, its head stretched up into the air. One of the hunter's arms is extended up, meeting the bears chin and mouth, creating a large circle in the stone. The hunter's head is bent into the bear’s chest, where they nearly meld into one. Their feet are staggered and entangled together, both with their legs splayed to create the length of the sculpture.
