Russian Nesting Doll Matrioshka Hand Painted & Signed, Wood Burnt In Russia #114

  

This is a very unusual nesting doll made in shape of mushroom. The doll is hand painted and wood burnt all around in Sergiev Posad, Russia and signed by Russian artist Sokolova in 1997. Size 6.25'', set of 5. No cheap copies, all the dolls are authentic!!! In Russia making wooden objects which fit each inside other has many Centuries tradition.

Gradually these figurines became to be carved in the shape of dolls. These dolls were made and painted by Russian craftsmen. This fabulous Russian doll was given the name MATRIOSHKA [matryoshka, matreshka] which originated from root of the word maternity. It became a symbol of FERTILITY and PERPETUATION. It is a good luck present for a very long time.
