Description: This charming five-sided casket has been painted by a talented Palekh artist Zolotareova Natalia. It shows all kinds of winter outdoor fun in countryside. Children often are sledging down the hill, playing snowballs, teenagers are dating...
On the lid of the casket a lad is coming to fill the buckets with water from the frosted river, while to the right there is a young couple. On the front side there is winter troyka rushing through the snow covered road, to the left -mother is calling a young boy, who has spent half a day outdoor. On the back side of the casket- children are doing a snowman, and on the right side, the lad is flirting with a young girl, who is carry the buckets on a shoulder-yoke.
For this composition Zolotareova has used a lot of gold and silver headlining that are the most suitable for depiction of a winter scene, painted in Palekh style.
The composition is framed with a rich gold ornamentation which also scattered the box's sides and a part of the base.
The box is made out of paper-mache. Black lacquer covers the exterior and red lacquer covers the interior of the box. The lid is hinged from the top of the composition, and the box rests on two sided platform. The box is signed with the name of the artist and Palekh under the composition on the lid.
