Lacquer miniatures rank as one of the most original and diverse handicrafts that developed in keeping with century old traditions. It takes around 6 months for the artist to make this lacquer casket. This box is made of paper-mâché which could be shaped into widely diverse forms. It is painted with tempera (pigment) painting and golden powder. This box is lacquered about 8-10 times.
The artwork "Snowy Russia," of the artist V. Karlov, is unique because it was painted with natural mineral pigments. The artist did not buy these paints!!! He found them himself for his creation. These materials are abundant in his native village. This is an extraordinary, beautiful place. The house he lives in, a frozen river, a dazzling sunset and beautiful Russian vast spaces are depicted on this jewelry box.
