Description:

This complex composition was painted by a talented Kholuy artist, Pechkina Nelly.The box is features major characters from the tale of the Humpbacked Little Pony.
In the beginning of the story, one of the three sons- Ivan, caught the magic mare that trampled down wheat on his father's field. This mare promised Ivan to present three foals in exchange for freedom. Later two of these foals turned into the steeds with golden manes while the third one turned into the Humpbacked Little Pony. The old greedy Tsar obliged Ivan to fulfill different tasks, and the Humpbacked Little Pony always helped him. And in the end of a story instead of the tsar Ivan dipped himself in three cauldrons of boiling water, boiling milk and ice cold water, and transformed into a very handsome young man and the Tsar only boiled in the first one...
Here we can see (from the left to the right) a magic Whale, the tent of the Tsarina, Ivan on the hump-backed horse with Tsarina, Ivan catches the feather of the Firebird from it's tail.
The painting has the GOLD background! The exterior of this box was painted with black lacquer and the interior was painted with red lacquer. The sides of the lid are ornamented with gold scroll work, accented at the middle with silver dots.
The lid of this box is hinged to the top of the box, and the box rests on a wavy platform. The artist has signed the composition with his name, the title and village name of Kholui.
