Information:
A matryoshka doll is a Russian doll made from wood. This Russian handicraft became popular around the world as a gift, after winning a bronze medal at the Paris World Exposition in 1900. The doll can be pulled apart at the middle to reveal a slightly smaller doll nesting inside, which in turn has another doll inside it, and so on. Each of the dolls is painted, usually as a woman, and you can find matryoshka dolls depicting famous people as well as animals.
There are five matryoshka dolls in this set. Dressed in a traditional Russian sarafan and apron, with a neckerchief on the head, and holding crops or roosters in their hands, they colorfully portray the traditional Russian peasant. The dolls are 20, 16, 12.5, 10, and 8 centimeters tall. |
