Handpainted Russian matroshka doll set

Handpainted Russian matroshka doll set. This set is signed by the artist at the bottom. A set of 5 dolls symbolizes family and continuity: the largest outer doll represents the mother (or sometimes grandmother), with each smaller doll fitting inside as children, showing the generational link. They also reflect the idea of fertility, unity, and protection, as each doll shelters the next inside. Traditionally, they were decorated in peasant dress. All dolls may have some possible small surface marks due to usage. The photographs are a part of the description. Dimensions: 15cm height x 9cm diameter (tallest doll)1
