Vintage Russian Laquer Trinket Box from year 2000 gorgeous piece

Russian lacquer box, likely a Palekh or Fedoskino style piece, characterized by its intricate hand-painted miniature scene on a lacquered papier-mâché surface. Origin and Craftsmanship: These boxes are traditionally handmade in Russia, notably in villages like Palekh, Fedoskino, Kholui, and Mstera, each with its own distinctive painting style. Material: Despite their appearance, these boxes are not made of wood but from durable papier-mâché, which is then meticulously lacquered and polished to achieve a high-gloss finish. Artistic Themes: The miniature paintings often depict scenes from Russian folklore, fairy tales, landscapes, or historical events, as seen in the image with the horse-riding figures.
