This is richly ornamented Russian wooden egg on a pedestal crafted in Zhostovo style (like Russian Zhostovo metal trays) and hand painted. It stands about 8" tall (total height with stand), and displays Russian Folk Art craftsmanship at its best! Vibrant colors and deep lacquer bring these beautifully hand painted flowers to life. The egg is an ancient symbol of life and according to the lore of our forefathers always brings good luck. Great as a gift or home decoration.
