This interesting work has been created by Dmitriev V. from the village of Fedoskino. The box repeats the shape of a basket filled with mushrooms. Its entire surface is painted so that the box looks like a basket.
The box's sides are painted to imitate the texture of a basket made out of flexible twigs; on the box's sides Dmitriev also paints various leaves and branches; here you can also find the edges of the multicolored kerchief put under the mushrooms to keep the basket clean. On the box's lid the artist paints various mushrooms gathered by a mashroomer.
To paint this work the artist has used various shades of brown oils, and gold metal paint as an underlayer for the oils. Gold paint shines beautifully through the oils, and the box looks festive and appealing. More festivity comes from gold metal leaf that shines through the kerchief, leaves and some mushrooms.
The box is constructed from paper-mache. The lid is hinged at top, and the box rests on a flat bottom. The box's interior is covered with red lacquer; the box's exterior bottom is covered with black lacquer. Signed with the artist's name, Fedoskino, and the year of 2006.
