Description: Borisov from the village of Mstera is the talented artist responsible for this lovely composition. Elegance comes in the form of the finished product.
Dozens of flowers bloom from within the center of the composition. A bright, an electric orange-tangerine, red, purple and aquamarine make up the tones of the leaves and flowers. Each petal and leaf has also been shaded with lively gold paint to enhance glow and texture. Roses, daisies and various wild flowers appear even more beautiful because of the emerald background. The various leaves and petals are expertly detailed and extremely well defined. Three butterflies enjoy the aroma of this wonderful bouquet. The floral arrangement is as realistic as it is enchanting. A truly gorgeous work.
Gold and silver ornamentation featuring flowers and dot-filled spaces frames the bouquet wonderfully. This same pattern, condensed, is repeated on the lower half of the sides of the box, and just above it is a ring of gold foliage.
The box is constructed from paper-mache made in the village of Mstera. Black lacquer is used to paint the exterior of the piece while red lacquer completes the interior of the work. The lid is hinged and the box rests on a flat bottom. On the bottom of the box the artist paints in gold the title of the piece, "Butterflies in the garden", the village of Mstera, and her original signature.
