Description: This strikingly beautiful box is a creation of Oleg Gavrilov from the village of Fedoskino. It shows the yellow and emerald colored butterfly sitting on the white-pinkish peony flower. Dark blue creamy background has been chosen to strengthen the colors. Painting numerous petals, fresh green leaves, pink, ready to bloom buds; and skillfully combining various shades of pink, white, green and blue the artist has managed to reproduce realistically the magnificent bouquet that seems to emanate delicate aroma.
A thin gold metal thread wraps around the box's sides.
The box is made out of paper-mache. Black lacquer covers the exterior and the box's interior imitates the color of green marble (dark green veins and blurry spots are scattered against the olive background). On the box's interior bottom the artist has written his name. There is a hinge to the top of the scene, and the box rests on a flat bottom.
