This beautiful small box has been painted by Taisia Danchenko. It shows the Snowmaiden drawn against a background of the winter forest. The scene is painted in blue tones of oils. Silver paint used as an underlayer for the oils, shines magically through the Snowmaiden's sarafan and kokoshnik. A simple pattern composed of silver punch-outs (silver scan pattern) decorates the edges of the lid. The box's exterior is of beautiful blue tone, and covered with silver dust and dark blue blurry spots and veins to imitate a stone color. Its interior is traditionally covered with red lacquer.
The box is constructed out of paper-mache. The lid is hinged from the left of the scene, and the box rests on a flat bottom. The work is signed with the artist's name, Fedoskino, and the title ("The Snowmaiden").
