This beautiful box painted by Bazhenov shows an impressive view of the white-stoned Rostov Kremlin situated in the ancient Russian town of Rostov. The white stoned cathedrals encircled by the massive defensive wall are lit by the cold moonlight in the darkness of a night.
The scene is painted in dark blues; some areas are highlighted with gold powder. A large piece of mother-of-pearl shines through the architecture and through the sky. The edges of the lid are decorated with gold scan patterns. The box's exterior is covered with blue paint mixed with silver powder while the interior is traditionally red.
The box is constructed from paper-mache. The lid is hinged from the top of the scene, and the box rests on a flat bottom. The work is signed with the artist's name, Fedoskino, and the year of 2006.
