Painted wood box, "Doves", 13x23.5x4.5 cm

Little box for keeping trifles, painted with folk and fairy tale motifs. Inspired by the aesthetics of Russian decorative folk art, the box reveals a folk motif on each side; the turtle dove is the symbol of fidelity, the horse is a magic animal that accompanies man through life and serves him, and the Rusalkas are mythic creatures , descended from pagan religions, who have the power of tempting and madden the weak.
