Description
A collection of wooden matryoshka nesting dolls comprising several distinct hand-painted sets featuring traditional and character themes. The assembly includes a set depicting Disney characters Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, and Pluto against a turquoise background with cloud and landscape details. Also included are traditional floral sets in yellow, pink, and red colourways, an eight-piece set of elongated form, and a five-piece set decorated in blue and white Gzhel-style floral patterns. One set features a simplified pastoral motif with a figure in a pink kerchief holding a black chicken. The dolls are lathe-turned with friction-fit halved bodies and finished with a protective varnish. No legible marks, signatures, or factory stamps are visible on the exterior surfaces or bases.
