Description: This marvelous small box was painted by Kirsanov from the village of Fedoskino. It features a wooden church located on the hill, and all around it spreads the winter landscape. The sunset on the sky is painted strikingly realistically with the help of mother-of-pearl.
The edges of the lid and the box's sides are decorated with elegant gold scan patterns composed of shapes hand punched from gold metal sheets and then painstakingly affixed by hand to the box.
The exterior of the box is brown covered with tiny black and light gray veins, while the interior is traditionally red.
The box is made out of high-quality paper-mache. The lid is hinged from the left of the composition, and the box sits on a flat bottom. The box is signed with the name of the artist, and the year of 2003, and the village of Fedoskino in brown oils at the bottom of the scene. The Fedoskino factory stamp is under the lid.
