Description:

Tatiana Dmitrieva from the village of Fedoskino created this attractive box. It depicts the girl who gathered the full basket of berries, and now sits on the riverbank. Fine brushstrokes create her multi-toned face, the texture of her peasant costume, patterns and folds on it. The ribbons that decorate her shirt are highlighted with aluminum powder, whereas the lace that adorns her dress is drawn in bright gold paint. With the help of artistic means the artist managed to accentuate charm and youth of the girl, her elevated and romantic mood.
The scene is framed with a gold line, and also with a so called "scan pattern" composed of tiny beads hand punched from gold metal sheets and then painstakingly affixed by hand to the box. Hand punched gold beads are also scattered on the whole surface of the box's exterior.
The box exterior is covered black lacquer. For additional decoration this black lacquer area is studded with silver blurry spots. It has been made to imitate coloration of a stone. The interior is traditionally red.
The box is constructed from paper-mache. The box has a hinge from the left of the composition and rests on a flat bottom. It is signed with the artist's name, the year of 2006, and the village of Fedoskino.
