5Pcs Handmade & Hand Painted Russian Nesting Doll
A Russian nesting doll, also known as a matryoshka doll, is a set of wooden dolls of decreasing size placed one inside another.
They are also known as stacking dolls, Russian tea dolls, or babushka dolls.
The first matryoshka doll was crafted in 1890 by artists, particularly Sergey Malyutin. They were exhibited at the 1900 world's fair in Paris and have been iconic of Russian culture into the 21st century.
Matryoshka dolls are imbued with the symbolism of fertility. The largest doll is considered the matriarch of the family, while the smallest is called the "seed" and represents the soul. They're seen as a representation of a chain of mothers carrying on the family legacy through the child in their womb.
When buying a nesting doll, you should consider size and shape. You can also consider things that may increase the value of a nesting doll, such as:
If it was made in Russia
If there is a signature anywhere on the doll
If it has a beveled bottom edge
If it is over 20 years old
