Description: This gorgeous box is a creation of Tatyana Frolova from the village of Fedoskino. It shows a scene from Nick Cave's lyrics “Where the Wild Roses Grow” based on the English folklore.
They call me The Wild Rose
But my name was Elisa Day
Why they call me it I do not know
For my name was Elisa Day
Various shades of green oils predominate here as the beauty lies on the surface of the swampy pond. A bright piece of mother-of-pearl that shines with green and pink undertones is set into the beauty's dress.
The scene is framed with a gold line; the box's sides are decorated with two parallel gold lines.
The box is constructed from paper-mache. Black lacquer is used to paint the exterior of the box while red lacquer completes the interior of the work. A hinge is fastened to the top of the scene, and the box rests on four legs. The work is signed with the artist's name, Fedoskino and the year of 2008.
