During the Deer Dance, hunters will come to ask permission to him in order to be blessed during the search of the Deer. The Lord of the Woods will then evaluate the hunt and will or will not allow the hunters to enter the forest.  Notice the wonderful hair carvings that show great skill in the artist that created the piece. Veins show in the forehead as he is a great thinker, he is wise and knows all the ways inside the thick forest. Gracefully painted eyelashes and red lips highlight the piece.
