This sumptuous work is a creation of Nikolay Molodkin who is the youngest Artist in renowned Mstera family of lacquer miniature artists-the Molodkins. He has a recognizable painting style that is so highly estimated by collectors of lacquer miniature boxes all over the world.
With extreme intricacy and sensitivity an Artist depicts here some scenes from "The Lord of the Rings", an epic high fantasy novel written by philologist J.R.R. Tolkien.
The composition might looks not very busy from the first look, but it is very interesting to check the drawing. Each character has his individual look and painted with a great accuracy! Each minute detail is enhanced with brilliant gold paint!
On the left and on the right sides we can see the ornamental works painted on the golden leafs glued on the surface. And what is interesting-the ornament is not the same on the left side and the right.
The box is made out of paper-mache. Black lacquer covers the exterior and red lacquer covers the interior of the box. The exterior is decorated with elegant gold patterns. The lid is hinged from the top of the composition, and the box rests on four legs.
The work is signed with the artist's name, the title "Hobbit", the year of 2010 and the village of Mstera.
