This wooded doll set features in 9 different sizes and a lacquered finish. Tallest doll measures approx. 9’’ When asked, most often the first step is to explain what they aren’t. A common mistake is to call the Russian wood carved “nesting dolls” as Babuskha (grandmother) dolls. The real name is matryoshka (Матрёшка), which are in the context of Russian history, a relatively new phenomenon. Unlike many objects of folk art, nesting dolls were not a product of hundreds of years of evolution of a particular art form. Some purists maintain that matryoshki are not real folk art at all. The generally accepted story is that they were introduced into Russia from Japan and brought in by merchants. But nesting dolls were introduced into a fertile artistic soil and, once the seeds were planted, village artists quickly. 2011 collections
