Description:

Talented Fedoskino artist Elena Aldoshkina, the wife of Yuriy Aldoshkin, created this interesting work. It is a set of boxes that rest on a special pedestal; each element of this set is made out of papier-mache.
The set includes two boxes painted on the same theme. They show the main characters from the Russian fairy-tale "The Snowmaiden". One of them depicts the Snowmaiden leaning against the birch while another one shows Lel playing his flute. Mother-of-pearl shines through the costumes of both characters; gold metal leaf creates brilliance of the leaves of the birches painted on the both boxes.
The exterior of both boxes and the edges of the pedestal the boxes rest on are decorated with intricate gold and silver scan patterns composed of tiny shapes hand punched from silver and gold metal sheets and then painstakingly affixed by hand to the box.
Black lacquer covers the exterior of the boxes and the pedestal; red lacquer covers the interior of the boxes. Both boxes are hinged from the left of the scene, and have a flat bottom. Each of them is signed with the artist's name, the title, Fedoskino, and the year of 2004.
Attention! Size of "Lel" and "SnowMaiden" boxes
