A special way to present hunting trophies is to attach them to carved animal heads. This tradition exists since the Middle Ages.

Many woodcarvers where trained in the 'School of Wood Carving, Brienz' which was established in 1884. Around 1900 the woodcarving industry counted ca. 2000 woodcarvers. Brienz woodcarvings were presented on several worlds fairs with great success.
