This box is a creation of the talented Fedoskino landscape painter, Sergey Parmeonov.
The artist has used a whole sea shell as a lid of this box, and painted TWO landscape scenes on the top and on the interior of the lid on a mother-of-pearl!!! Otherwords, the artist has used both side of the shell (mother-of-pearl) as a base for his painting... All the painting is made on the mother-of-pearl, and mother-of-pearl is shines from all over- in the skies, in the river,through the trees...
Sergey Parmeonov has masterfully reflected beauty of Russian countryside in Summer time. A flash of sunset colors on the sky is achieved with the help of a light color. Painterly skill creates a dramatic interplay of light and shadow within both of the scenes!
Both scenes are outlined with gold lines, two parallel gold lines wrap around the box's sides.
The base of piece is constructed from paper-mache, lid-is a sea shell. Black lacquer is used to paint the exterior of the lid and the base while red lacquer completes its interior, where there is no painting. The lid is hinged from the top of the scene, and the box rests on a wavy platform. The work is signed with the artist's name.
