The box shows Baba-Yaga dancing inside her magic hut on chicken legs. Baba Yaga is in a great mood. We can see her standing near the stupa, she is juggling by leg with her magic broom, and music is coming from the harp!
Baba-Yaga is the oldest character of the Slavonic mythology. Originally Baba-Yaga was the goddess of death; people imagined her as a woman with the snake tail who guarded the entrance into the other world and accompanied the souls of dead people into the Kingdom of the Dead.
Baba Yaga is the most famous figure in Russian fairy tales that represents evil. It is a character of such fairy-tales as "Marya Morevna", "Princess Frog", "The Tale of Life Water and Youth Giving Appels", and many others.
The box is made out of paper-mache. Dark brown lacquer covers the exterior and red lacquer covers the interior of the box. A hinge has been fastened from the left of the scene, and the box rests on four legs.
On the bottom of the exterior Bebikhov has painted unknown figure.
