Exquisite hand painted Russian lacquer box from Mstera created of papier mache and painstakingly painted by a skilled Russian artist with an intricate design of a woman dancing to the music of an accordian like instrument. These wonderful pieces of art are lacquered over and over again and get their name from the many layers (most often, black and red) that are applied to both their outside and inside sections. Coats of clear lacquer, or varnish, are the last layers to be put on and provide the stunning shine to the box. This lovely trinket box is 2" by 1.5" inside measurements and stands 1.5" high. Outside measurements are 2.5" by 2". Lid is hinged at back and opens to a red lacquer interior. Sides and edge of lid are trimmed in delicate gold scrolls. Design on lid is signed Mstera and the artist initials B.K.
Trinket box is in excellent condition. Does not come with original box.
