Two reindeer are shown in motion with their heads raised and large antlers extending nearly the full height of their bodies. The reindeer on the left is airborne with all four legs lifted, while the one on the right has its front left and back right legs extended backward in a dynamic running pose. A spitz-type dog, with its tail curled over its back, runs ahead of the reindeer. Behind them, a figure runs beside a sled, holding a long pole(?) in the left hand and a rope in the right. There is a short length of rope attached to the front of the sled. Inscription on base reads: “Made in USSR. T10-117-266(?)”.
