The nesting dolls that you see here are
made by a group of artists in Moscow, Russia. Russian craftsmen
have been making nesting dolls since the mid-1700s. This lovely
and entertaining art form has won a multitude of awards and hearts
worldwide. The raw material used in making
the dolls are Lime logs, which are air dried for several years.
Every piece passes through as many as 15 turning operations. The
turning is all done by hand, and by eye. No measurements are involved.
All of these operations require great skill and patience. The
doll is then allowed to dry before being primed and painted. These dolls also make a wonderful
and educational toy for infants and toddlers, developing their
coordination skills and the sense of shape and size. "Matreshkas" carry
a rich tradition and always turn into family heirlooms. Comes with the Certificate
of Authenticity.
