Description
There are four aspects to this piece: a human figure (likely the hunter named in the title), two birds, and a piece of antler that forms the base. The human figure appears to be standing with their arms raised. One of the birds has a long neck and body shape similar to a goose. The other bird has a round vertical body and large inset eyes suggesting an owl. Everything is in the off-white colour of bone, except for the eyes on the goose and the hunter's facial features which have been filled in with black. The birds and hunter have small bone pegs on their bases that align with holes in the antler, allowing them to stand freely.
