The beautiful Silver Hoof nesting doll illustrates a Russian tale about a magical beast with one silver hoof. An old man, his adopted girl and their cat decides that they would seek out Silver Hoof, with his special hoof that would, with each stamp, leave a gemstone behind, or so the story went. In some tales Silver Hoof is a goat with horns like deer antlers and in others Silver Hoof is a deer with just a special hoof. Take a look at the exquisite details of the imagery by artist Irina Kummer. She captures the magical night that Silver Hoof decides to visit them at their hunting cabin. A lovely gift for any nesting doll collector or anyone that believes in magic.
