This gorgeous hand painted little story box is depicting Russian folk lore. I believe it is from Kholui (one of the four art centers of Russian lacquer miniature painting). It measures 7.25" x 5.75" x 1.5".
I am told that this is the Russian story of the Three Sisters.
There is a very small signature in gold at the bottom of the picture, but I can't make it out as it's in cyrillic.
Overall good vintage condition mild scuffing

Three fair maidens, late one night,
Sat and spun by candlelight.
"Were our tsar to marry me,"
Said the eldest of the three,
"I would cook and I would bake –
Oh, what royal feasts I'd make."
Said the second of the three:
"Were our tsar to marry me,
I would weave a cloth of gold
Fair and wondrous to behold."
But the youngest of the three
Murmured: "If he married me –
I would give our tsar an heir
Handsome, brave, beyond compare."

…At these words their chamber door
Gently creaked – and lo, before
These three maidens' very eyes
Stood their tsar, to their surprise.
He had listened by their gate
Whither he'd been led by fate,
And the words that he heard last
Made his heart with love beat fast.
