Two hunters head home after a day or duck hunting. Soon it will time to relax over dinner and reflect on the day's events. It looks like one of the hunters is already starting to tell a story, perhaps about the duck he didn't get. The owls in the tree have a rather funny expression in their eyes. Maybe they are just relieved that they weren't the intended targets. Nicely done throughout, and the faces are particularly well drawn for the price. The box is well crafted and has a hinge at the top. The box is signed with the name of the artist (Izrazhiva), village and title.
