Set Of 7 Russian Matryoshka Nesting Dolls Signed Hand Painted Russia 1996 Meot

  

My best rendition of what's written on the bottom. That last line was hard to try and decipher.

Meot-from a quick search, provided this. The "Meot" or Maeotian tribe, an ancient people, lived along the Sea of Azov, also known as the "Maeotian marshes" or "Lake Maeotis" in antiquity, and are considered by some to be a Circassian tribe. Please review all photos for best description.

All flaws I found in inspection are in photos from smallest figure to largest. The small flake of lacquer missing by the eye is on the largest doll, for reference. The floral background is more textured / raised than the other layers of texture-most imperfections are on a flower where it's raised. Most photos show with flash and without for the best reference.

Different scene on each doll.
