Two Sets of Russian Nesting Dolls
Description
Two sets of traditional matryoshka nesting dolls hand-painted on turned wood with a clear lacquer finish. The first set comprises seven graduated pieces featuring a red headscarf with white polka dots, blonde hair, and a black apron decorated with red and white floral motifs over a green base. The second set comprises three graduated pieces featuring a purple headscarf, dark hair, and a yellow body decorated with blue and green floral motifs. Each doll, with the exception of the smallest solid piece in each grouping, is constructed in two halves that pull apart to reveal the next doll in the sequence. No maker’s marks, signatures, or labels are visible on the exterior or the bases of any of the items.
