Color:10 Pcs Heart Shape Girl Matryoshka dolls (Russian: матрёшка, also known as babushka dolls, stacking dolls, nesting dolls, Russian tea dolls, or Russian dolls[1]) are a set of wooden dolls of decreasing size placed one inside another. The name matryoshka, literally “little matron”, is a diminutive form of the Russian female first name “Matryona” (Матрёна) or “Matryosha” A set of matryoshkas consists of a wooden figure, which separates at the middle, top from bottom, to reveal a smaller figure of the same sort inside, which has, in turn, another figure inside of it, and so on. The first Russian nested doll set was made in 1890 by wood turning craftsman and wood carver Vasily Zvyozdochkin from a design by Sergey Malyutin, who was a folk crafts painter at Abramtsevo. Traditionally the outer layer is a woman, dressed in a sarafan, a long and shapeless traditional Russian peasant jumper dress. The figures inside may be of any gender; the smallest, innermost doll is typically a baby turned from a single piece of wood. Much of the artistry is in the painting of each doll, which can be very elaborate. The dolls often follow a theme; the themes may vary, from fairy tale characters to Soviet leaders. In the west, matryoshka dolls are often referred to as babushka dolls, babushka meaning “grandmother” or “old woman”.

Consisting of 10 dolls, If you carefully observe its size, you will find that it is different, because it is very large compared with the goods in other stores. If you travel to Russia, you will find that the price of slightly larger dolls will usually double, because they need to be made of wood with older trees, so large dolls are very precious.

Look at this both beautiful and exquisite matryoshka doll! The facial details, like the big eyes and small red mouth can be seen clearly in all dolls of each layer from large to small, which is something you are hard to experience from other stores.

This matryoshka doll is pretty light so that kids can play and operate easily. Besides, it can be opened and closed smoothly as it is made of basswood (a kind of high-end wood). After being harvested from the forest and sent to the factory, the logs need to be dried in the shade for more than 1 year, in this way the water in the solid wood will completely evaporate and the doll will not deform, crack or mold!
It is a classic matryoshka doll. The pattern of this matryoshka is designed with the most classic and popular pattern in Russia. There is a big sweet heart on the belly of the big matryoshka, carrying the good meaning of love and friendship. Don’t hesitate, just buy it and you won’t regret!

These dolls are as pretty as they appear in the pictures. They fit together well. The only problem is that the material with which they are made is very fragile. A childish squeeze broke one of the inner dolls. I have nesting dolls bought in Russia 15 years ago that have been played with by 4 grandchildren with the concern losing pieces not breaking them. Still these are beautiful.Read more

My little one loves these and sadly squished the smallest one with her little fingers. I can’t find a place to write them to ask for a replacement. It’s sad. If anyone could help me get a replacement for the smallest two I’m happy to change this review to perfect! [email protected]. Thanks.Read more
