Russian Domes Nesting Doll 7pc./8"

The natural wood and poker work on this nesting doll prove to be the perfect backdrop for the dramatic scene on Red Square in Moscow:  the colorful cupolas of St. Basil’s cathedral shine like jewels in the brilliant blue sky.  The gold foil kokoshnik and cupolas are repeated on each doll, as is the poker work.  The backs of the dolls offer impressive artwork in their own right:  an extensive woodburned floral theme is highlighted with white-petalled flowers with metallic foil centers.  Another hand-made matryoshka by cottage industry artists in Sergiev Posad, Russia.
