Volga Maiden Nesting Doll - 8" w/ 7 Pieces and 47 similar items

The Volga Maiden nesting doll wears a gold crown with a darling green scarf and she has sky blue eyes that contrast nicely with the warm reds, yellows, and oranges of her dress. The smaller ones are just wearing their green scarves. The Volga Maiden Dolls are our tribute to the toy-making villages of the Upper Volga River region and the traditional style they developed. These Russian dolls are decorated with floral design patterns that are very pleasing to the eye and echo the design motifs found along the Volga. A wonderful gift for someone that collects matryoshka dolls. These images have hand painted backgrounds and highlights, and for certain elements, Golden Cockerel reproduces the original hand-painted artwork on printed vinyl and artfully applies them to the dolls. The artist paints and blends the two forms of artwork together into a unified piece. Then the dolls have multiple layers of non-toxic water-based lacquer applied. This doll was carved in the Upper Volga region, then delivered to the Golden Cockerel workshop in St. Petersburg, Russia. 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. Size of the Largest Piece: 8 inches in height The Nesting Set Includes: Seven Matryoshka Images Certified Child Friendly Please note that the smaller pieces can be very small. Please make sure your recipient is old enough and wise enough not to swallow the characters (around three and older).
