Lacquer boxes from Palekh might well enjoy the highest world-wide acclaim. The lacquer art of Palekh has been called "a small miracle", a label particularly fitting since that the village specialized in icon-painting for centuries until the 1917 Russian revolution. To many collectors, Palekh boxes have the most elegant look to them. When you hold one in your hand, you know you are holding something truly special. Most often in Palekh works, innumerable fine lines of gold leaf, polished to a glow by a wolf's tooth, are applied to the ornamental border and drawing itself. A simple one-color background then provides a beautiful contrast to the gold leaf and scene itself. This background, usually black, also serves to take the observer into a new world where one's concept of time and space is left to the imagination.

One of the most known tales in Russia represents the desire to gain a victory and keep your own kingdom strong and prosperous. In this fairy tale the Tsar receives a gift -- the Golden Rooster. The Rooster had a power to predict and warn of enemies' attacks, and the Tsar was never taken by surprise. This box depicts the scene when the Tsar is getting the Golden Rooster. This is the illustration to famous Pushkin's poem Tale about Golden Rooster ", which is well-known to classical music lovers as Rimski-Korsakov's opera.
