Zayakina Olga is an artist who has paint this interesting box based on a religious theme.
Palm Sunday is a Christian moveable feast that falls on the Sunday before Easter. The feast commemorates Jesus' triumphal entry into Jerusalem, an event mentioned in each of the four canonical Gospels. Palm Sunday marks the first day of Holy Week, the last week of the Christian solemn season of Lent that precedes the arrival of Eastertide.
In the foreground the artist has painted the Russian family, a husband, a wife and their two children, that lived in the seventeenth or eighteenth century in Moscow. Looking at this scene the viewer can easily imagine how the citizens of Moscow looked like several centuries ago.
Light gray tones of oils suitable for depiction of a winter scene predominate here. The costumes of the characters are richly decorated with brilliant gold patterns. Gold metal leaf inlay can be found in the kokoshnik of the depicted woman and in the cupolas of the cathedral painted in the background.
The scene is framed with a floral golden ornament; more complex golden floral ornamentation wraps around the box's sides.
The box is made out of paper-mache. Black lacquer with silver paint covers the exterior and red lacquer covers the interior of the box. The lid is hinged from the left 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 2019.
