Wizard of Oz Doll 5 pc./6"

There's no place like home...and there's no better way to portray the characters from Frank Baum's beloved classic than on a nesting doll! This fun collectable pictures Dorothy, Toto, and travelling companions the Scarecrow, Tin Woodman, and Cowardly Lion on the outermost doll. Next is pictured Glinda the Good Witch, followed by the Wicked Witch of the West, a flying monkey, and Dorothy's slippers on the smallest doll.

Production Techniques: Hand Painting. This doll was carved in the Upper Volga region, then delivered to the Golden Cockerel workshop in St. Petersburg, Russia. Our artists painstakingly hand paint every detail, beginning with backgrounds and moving to the finer elements that require a brush of very select Siberian squirrel hair. It is daunting to think of the time and talent invested in each of the nesting pieces! Finally we baptize each doll in multiple layers of non-toxic water-based lacquer to make a marvelous matryoshka that will delight children and collectors. The bottom of the largest doll gets stamped with Golden Cockerel’s “Made in Russia” mark of quality, initialed by the artist, and dated like a true collectible. We can only hope you will give it a good home
