Subtle strokes, bright colors with abundance of gold highlights can turn a simple jewelry box into a fantastic masterpiece like this marvelous lacquer box with beautiful rustic motifs. For many years the village of Palekh was known for their skilled icon painters. During the Soviet era icon painters transferred their techniques to non-religious laquerware with ornate depictions of Russian fairy tales, literature, folklore and historical stories.
