The Gradient nesting doll has five lovely ladies with each proceeding color hue is a subtly lighter shade than the previous girl. The nesting matryoshka doll is a international favorite. Almost everyone loves to explore anything that can be opened and with this doll you will be delighted to open up each shade and set them prettily on your collector's shelf. The doll is entirely hand painted at the Golden Cockerel workshop in St. Petersburg, Russia. The artists painstakingly hand paint every detail, beginning with backgrounds and moving to the finer elements that require a brush of very select Siberian squirrel hair. Then the dolls have multiple layers of non-toxic water-based lacquer applied. Size of the Largest Piece: 4 inches in height The Nesting Set Includes: Five Matryoshka Images in Different Gradient Shades Please note that the smaller pieces can be very small. Please make sure your recipient is old enough and wise enough not to swallow the characters (around three and older).
