Alpine Bear Nesting Set 5 Pc

 

This nesting doll was carved in the Upper Volga region, the Russian center of nesting doll carving. The carved pieces were assembled, doll inside a doll, and then delivered to a workshop in St. Petersburg, Russia. There artists painstakingly hand painted every detail, beginning with backgrounds and moving to the finer elements that require a brush of very select Siberian squirrel hair.  Finally it is encased in multiple layers of non-toxic water-based lacquer to make a marvelous matryoshka that will delight children and collectors.
