Loose translation of the German poem:

This is the hunter's badge of glory:
That he protects and tends his quarry,
Hunts with honour, as is due,
And through the beast to God is true.

Jagermeister by ~screwbald is an amazing work of art. At first glance you may wonder why a buck would be hunting - but look closer - he's taking out the resident wolves in his forest. Everything about this piece pays homage to the beauty of nature and the careful balance between predator and prey. ( Suggested by `Marker-Guru and Featured by `cooley )

Dignity, nobility...pagan hunter king of the forest wears the cross necklace, he has been christianized through centuries.... Meaningful work, full of references, the deer strikes an haughty pose.

Yes, the real funny thing about it is the role-reversal
