Larisa Poturayko, one of Kholui's most gifted artists, is the creator of this charming small box. It represents the artist's series of works dedicated to the cats-musicians. Here we can see the cat- accordionist who plays his accordion, and sings a Christmas song together with the mouse sitting on the stub under the Christmas tree. The action takes place in the winter forest, while in the far background the outlines of a village are depicted.
Various shades of blue suitable of the depiction of a winter scene dominate here. The use of gold and aluminum contouring within the scene is astounding. Hand painted poetry it is.
A thin wavy line frames the scene, while the sides are decorated with intricate gold ornamentation highlighted with blue tempera paints.
The box is made out of paper-mache. Black lacquer covers its exterior and red lacquer covers its interior. The box has a hinge from the top of the composition and rests on a flat bottom. On the box's exterior bottom you can find the author's name, the fact that this is an artist original, the title for the piece ("Accordionist"), and the village name of Kholui.
