Deer Figurine

I found this Deer Figurine sometime ago in a second hand shop.
I've seen lots of wooden deer figurines around but this is one of the most striking and no matter what position it is placed in it looks beautiful.
I know very little about it except it is marked 'handmade in Norway' underneath the plinth that the deer stands on, I'd love to find out more about it so if you have seen one before or know anything of it's history please let me know.
