Talented Artist Kuznetsova Marina from the village of Palekh has painted this scene with a winter troika (three horse sleigh) speeding through the Russian countryside. A loving couple hide from the snowstorm in the sleigh while a driver encourages the horses.
Tiny silver dots and swirls are drawn throughout the scene to imitate snowflakes and drifting snow. Gold paint is used to detail the sledge, the characters' costumes and the horses' harnesses, manes and tails.
The scene is framed with a nice golden ornament.The box's sides are decorated with more complex ornament.
The box is constructed from paper-mache. Black lacquer is used to paint the exterior of the box while red lacquer completes the interior of the work. The lid is hinged to the top of the composition, and the box rests on four small round legs. The work is signed with the artist's name, and the village of Palekh.
