Description: The famous Fedoskino artist Alexey Chirkov is the creator of this stunning oval box. It continues the artist's ‘owl series', and shows the Hawk Owl sitting on the branch of the old tree. In the background a large piece of mother-of-pearl that shines brightly with green, blue, pink and orange undertones is set. The stem of the tree the owl is sitting on, and the stems of the trees painted in the background are highlighted with silver paint. The area of the lid that is free from painting is decorated with tiny gold stars, triangles, circles, dots and various whimsical figures.
The box is constructed from quality paper-mache. Black lacquer covers the exterior and red lacquer covers the interior of the work. The lid is hinged from the left, and the box rests on a flat bottom. The work is signed with the artist's name, the village of Fedoskino, the year of 2007 and the title (“The Hawk Owl”) on the box's exterior bottom.
