Bird

This beautiful box was painted by a talented artist Oleg Gavrilov from the village of Fedoskino. It shows a bird sitting on the white-pinkish flower.
Dark red background has been chosen to strengthen the colors. Painting numerous petals, fresh green leaves; and skillfully combining various shades of white and blue the artist has managed to reproduce realistically the magnificent bouquet that seems to emanate delicate aroma.
A thin gold metal thread wraps around the box's sides.
The box is made out of paper-mache. Black lacquer covers the exterior and the box's interior imitates the color of dark red marble (dark veins and blurry spots are scattered against the dark red background). On the box's interior bottom the artist has written his name. There is a hinge to the top of the scene, and the box rests on a flat bottom.
