Czar Saltan Doll 7pc./8"

Here is Natalia Serova's stunning version of Czar Saltan, a fairy tale as ornate and detailed as the doll she creates, using abundant gold foil, woodburning, and precision painting. The labor is tedious, but the product is so pleasing, it's clearly worth every ounce of sweat and every copeck. Pushkin would be proud. W/ story. Fully handpainted at the Golden Cockerel art studio in St. Petersburg, Russia.
