Product Overview
Talented artist Soloviov Oleg from the village of Palekh has painted this composition based on the interesting tale "The Humpbacked Little Pony".
The scene depicted here shows a recognizable moment of the story. In this composition we can see Ivan trying to catch Firebird, but getting only a feather of Firebird.
The entire surface of the box is filled with wondrous details. Gold paint is used to aid in the adding of the detail. The use of gold helps to enhance the already bold palette and bring out their true highlights!
Gold is used to decorate the exterior of the box. The artist's precision and ability to paint minute decoration is illustrated in the filigree that frames the scene and the filigree that wraps around the sides of the box.
The box is constructed out of paper-mache. Black lacquer is used to paint the exterior and red lacquer is used to paint the interior of the box. The box is unhinged and rests flat. The box is signed with Palekh and the name of the artist.
