His stern face is what meets the eye as one looks at this striking wooden statue of a hunter.
The musculature of the hunter has been perfectly captured in the carving of the wood, giving this statue an appealing realism.
The hunter with a short loin cloth wrapped around his waist, stands on a wooden pedestal, with his bow in one hand and the bird he has caught in the other.
A quiver of arrows is visible on his back and a log of wood emerging from the base adds to this visual narration of hunt in the wild.
Despite having successfully caught the bird, the face of the hunter does not show signs of victorious joy, but of tiredness.
This is no royal king out in the jungle on a ritual hunt. This is a man of nature, for whom game is his livelihood, and whether he enjoys the hunt or not, he has to perform it, whenever duty calls.
