Magic os Oz

Pavel Govorun from the village of Fedoskino is the author of this beautiful box. The well-known children's novel written by L. Frank Baum "The Wonderful Wizard of Oz" has been chosen as a theme for the work. Here we can see Dorothy, her dog Toto and her friends, the Scarecrow, the Tin Man and the Cowardly Lion, walking along the yellow brick road to the Emerald City. In the Emerald City the girl hopes to meet the Wizard of Oz who can return her to Kansas.
The scene is framed with a gold line; the box's sides are decorated with two parallel gold lines.
The box is constructed from paper-mache. Black lacquer is used to paint the exterior of the box while red lacquer completes the interior of the work. A hinge is fastened to the left of the scene, and the box rests on a flat bottom. The work is signed with the artist's name, the title and the village of Fedoskino.
