Description: Famous Fedoskino artist Alexey Chirkov is the creator of this beautifully painted box. It continues the artist's "owl series", and shows the Hawk Owl sitting on the branch of the old tree. The stem of the tree the owl is sitting on, and the stems of the trees painted in the background are highlighted with golden 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 details of the painting of the bird itself are just amazing!The feathers are painted just masterfully!
The box is constructed of 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 2009 and the title "The first Steps" on the box's exterior bottom.
