One of the most favorite motifs for decoration among Fedoskino masters is certainly the Russian troika. The troika of white mighty and fast horses riding along a snowy road is a symbol of a mysterious Russian soul. After all, we all know the phrase “Is there a Russian who does not like a fast ride” by N. Gogol. Riding a troika used to be the favorite kind of fun among people who lived in ancient Russia.
Traditionally made of papier-mache covered with an expressive and bright image this lacquer box makes an excellent gift for a collector or connoisseur of traditional Russian art. A luxurious box undoubtedly makes an unusual accent and decoration of the interior of any room in the house and will serve the owner for many years.
