The Frog Princess Doll 5pc./4" - Russian Collectible Nesting Dolls

An extremely creative piece illustrating the Frog Princess fairy tale, in which the frog returns the arrow of the prince and must therefore be his bride.

The frog opens up to four smaller pieces which depict the story in amazing detail. The arrow is removable, so it won't break during transit, and we include a synopsis of the story. Perfect for animal lovers.

Production Techniques: Hand Painting. This doll was carved in the Upper Volga region, then delivered to the workshop in St. Petersburg , Russia .

Our 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.

It is daunting to think of the time and talent invested in each of the nesting pieces! Finally we baptize each doll in multiple layers of non-toxic water-based lacquer to make a marvelous matryoshka that will delight children and collectors.

The bottom of the largest doll gets stamped with “Made in Russia ” mark of quality, initialed by the artist, and dated like a true collectible.
