This round box featured several scenes from the tale of a Hump Backed Little Pony.
Each scene depicted here shows a recognizible moment of story. In center of the composition we can see Ivan traveling on a hump-backed pony. In the beginning of the story Ivan caught the magic mare that trampled down wheat on his father's field. This mare promised Ivan to present three foals in exchange for freedom. Later two of these foals turned into the steeds with golden manes depicted here, and the third one turned into the Humpbacked Little Pony.
On the next one, Ivan has brought two steed to show to the Tsar. On the next one, Ivan holds the golden feather of a firebird that later becomes the reason of his first errand: he'll be obliged to catch the firebird for the old, greedy tsar. Next,there is the tent with dinner and a jar of wine inside that Ivan has erected to lure and capture the Tsar-Maiden who is boating nearby. And the last part of the painting shows the end of the story, when Ivan have to jump in there barrels/jars and became handsome fellow, but later when the Tsar jumped in the boiled water, he just bolied in it...
