Golden Cockerel Northern Lights Russian Nesting Doll Matryoshka 5pc/6"

Handpainted in breathtaking detail, this nesting doll features scenes of Alaska at nighttime under the aurora borealis, the famous northern lights. A snow-covered cabin, Alaskan brown bear, moose, and dogsled team can all be found here. A perfectly romantic gift for your favorite lover of the far north. Production Techniques: Hand Painting. 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 the Golden Cockerel workshop in St. Petersburg, Russia. Our artists painstakingly hand paint every detail, beginning with backgrounds and moving to the finer elements that require a brush of very select Siberian squirrel hair. It is daunting to think of the time and talent invested in each of the nesting pieces! Finally we baptize each doll in multiple layers of non-toxic water-based lacquer to make a marvelous matryoshka that will delight collectors. The bottom of the largest doll gets stamped with Golden Cockerel's "Made in Russia " mark of nesting doll quality, initialed by the artist, and dated like a true collectible. We can only hope you will give it a good home.
