This set of Matryoshka dolls is completely handmade and unique. Each single doll is made of natural wood (linden tree). They are all mostly painted with tempera and richly decorated with golden leaf. The dolls are usually covered with 4-6 layers of lacquer.

Suzdal is rightfully known as a "Pearl" of the "Gold Ring". The city is approximately 1000 years old. The most ancient part of Suzdal is the Kremlin. The center of the Suzdal Kremlin is the XII century Cathedral of Nativity of Mother of God, which you can see in the middle of this excellent work. Southern and western gates of the cathedral are made using the fire gilding technology. They are the unique tribute to the decorative-applied arts of ancient Russia. Natural mother-of-pearl (an integral part of the Fedoskino Masters’ School) emphasizes an unrepeatable beauty of the cathedral, the skies above it and highlights of water.
