Description:

On this elegant box, Kholui artist Talova depicts a scene from Hans Christian Andersen's popular fairy tale "The Snow Queen", when a boy named Kay meets the title character while he is out sledding. She ends up carrying him off to her icy palace, and his friend Gerda goes on a long journey to find him and bring him home. Fortunately, the two young people are reunited and the story ends happily.
To paint the Snow Queen, as well as the surrounding landscape the artist uses shades of blue and violet. Gold paint is used to create the light in the windows. Aluminum power is used to create snowflakes swirling in the night sky. The two characters are attractively drawn, with smooth, appealing faces. Swirls of white, violet, dark and light blue paints create the illusion of swirling snow, giving the composition a dynamic quality.
The box is constructed from quality paper-mache. The edges of the lid are surrounded by an elegant gold and aluminum ornament. The sides of the box are decorated with elaborate filigree designs consisted of aluminum snowflakes surrounded with gold foliage.
The exterior of the piece is painted with black lacquer while the interior is painted with red lacquer. The box rest on a flat bottom and its lid is hinged from the top. The artist has written his name, the title of the piece, the village name of Kholui, and the year of 2005 of which the piece was finished at the bottom of the composition.
