Matryoshka Nest of Dolls (5), Russian

“This is a traditional set of five Russian Matryoshka nesting dolls, hand-painted in black, red, and gold with stylised folk costume decoration. Each doll is finished with delicate gilt detailing and a glossy lacquer surface, and the base is signed “Россия” (Russia), indicating Russian origin.

Likely dating from the 1990s, the set represents the classic Matryoshka form in which progressively smaller dolls nest within the largest figure.”
