Description:

This awesome item is creation of Gelisheva from Palekh. This box is far more elaborate than most depictions we've seen of this tale. The entire story is related across the top and sides in the finest detail, embellished with gold. Amazing example of the fine art of miniature painting on a tiny papier mache box. Minutely detailed and fancily filigreed. The box has no hinge, singed and dated by artist.
