Wow! This nesting doll is cleverly designed so that every other doll serves as an art frame for the doll within it. The carving reminds one of a cathedral window; beautiful and poignant icons radiate from within. The icons vary from set to set. One of various Madonna's can be found in the largest window, which is then followed by Christ. The ever-popular icon of St. George on his white charger killing the dragon appears on the back of the largest piece. Beautiful iconography, fine gold foil trim, and of course the unusual and unexpected carved windows all make this nesting doll set a true show piece.
