Vintage 4-Piece Russian Nesting Dolls – Hand-Painted Matryoshka Set – Traditional Folk Art

4 piece nesting doll is a vintage symbol of traditional Russian folk art. In Russian, the word "Matryoshka" is associated with fertility and motherhood. That is why the many of the first Matryoshka dolls utilized the image of portly, chubby-cheeked mother on the outer doll with the likenesses of her numerous children painted on the smaller inner dolls

In good shape for as old as they are they lineup beautifully, the only tiny paint marks are on the heads from probably being moved to dust. Then they’ve been stored and boxed away. I’m just getting rid of everything from 48 years of marriage my husband and I don’t need anymore.
Money from the sale of the items will be going to our senior community garden. I highly suggest bundling because she will retain and also to help seniors.
