Inuit Matryoshka 5 Pc

Five Alaskan Inuit princesses in colorful traditional dress are depicted on this charming nesting 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 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.
