| Availability: | In stock (1) |
To pay homage to the century-old art form of the Matryoshka, we present the "Peasant Matriarch" also known as "The Rooster Girl" - a faithful replica of the first Russian nesting doll created in the 1890s.
Made in the tradition of the very early matryoshkas, she has woodburned outlines, an antique palette, and matte finish. The shape is true to the old style of doll.
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 St. Petersburg, Russia. Artists painstakingly hand paint every detail with a brush of very select Siberian squirrel hair. Each doll is coated in multiple layers of non-toxic water-based lacquer.
Made of 100% natural linden wood.
Non-toxic.
Doll measures 6.5" H x 3" D
