The box is signed by the artist and comes with the Certificate of Authenticity.

This is an amazing illustration to the famous fairy poem written byAlexander Pushkin, where the enchanted Swan, saved from the hawk by Tsar Gvidon, helps him on many occasions, and to reunite with his long-lost father Tsar Saltan. The swan, enchanted by the warlock, turns into Tsarevna and agrees to marry Tsarevich Gvidon.

Artists from Fedoskino, the birthplace of Russian lacquer miniatures, use a more realistic style of painting than the other villages. They also use oil paints for their drawings instead of the egg-based temperas. Three to four layers of the oil paints, along with seven coats of lacquer, are applied to each box before it is completed. This layering brings out a radiant quality in the drawings and the colors seem to emanate from within. Sometimes, an underlay of gold leaf or mother of pearl enhances this radiance and adds a lovely iridescence of its own.
