Beautiful hand-painted cat nesting dolls in multi color. Each piece features detailed, whimsical feline artwork. Great for collectors and pet-lover gifts. Includes the identified multi color finish shown. Set of 5 nesting dolls. I purchased these in San Francisco in 1996 from a little store that mainly carried the Russian nesting dolls. They’ve been well kept in storage. I really wasn’t able to enjoy them very much. I’m hoping they will go to a good home! Sizes; ~ Large Orange 6”x 2 1/2” ~ 4” x 2” ~ Medium Orange 3” x 1 1/2” ~ 2 1/4” x 1 1/4” ~ Tiniest baby doesn’t open - 1 3/4”x 3/4” Matryoshka dolls, or Russian nesting dolls, are sets of hollow, hand-painted wooden figures that fit inside one another, originating in Russia around 1890. They symbolize motherhood, family, fertility, and cultural continuity. Authentic dolls are hand-carved (often from linden wood) and painted, with signed provenance on the bottom.
