Description:

This is a handcrafted beauty by established Palekh painter Alexey Zhiryakov. The scene exudes his professionalism and the coloration invites the eye for permanent residence through appreciation.
The boxes features the Sea Spirit who reigns over the oceans, the seas, various rivers and lakes. He sits on the sea bottom surrounded with mermaids who caress him, sing and dance for him.
The scene is complex and multifigured. It combines the figure of Sea King, four figures of mermaids and dozens of various water plants and fish. Each element is originally painted especially the Sea King and the mermaids. The costumes of all characters are interestingly designed, and have a true fairy-tale appeal. Multiple of fantastically beautiful flowers realistically vibrate rocking by the waves.
The scene is framed with gold beading while the sides of the box are adorned with more elaborate and beautiful gold ornamentation.
Black lacquer covers the exterior and red lacquer covers the interior of the box. The box has a hinge above the composition and rests on four legs. The work is signed with the artist's name, the title, and the village of Palekh.
