Russian hand painted Icon egg 30388 gold flake

Russian hand painted icon egg 30388 gold flake. Has one area that looks like the underlying base paint color seeped thru by the scroll on lower part of book. Or if is ink transfer I am unsure how to get off ? This is vintage with a made in Russia sticker. Comparable items run 50.00 and into hundreds but could also be tourist item? Quality made and has feels like solid weight to it. Gold tone metal is attached. Metallic foils in gold. Green blue and red . Signed EC1994..
