Great gift for a laquerware collector. USSR vintage hand painted lacquer trinket or jewelry box. Beautifully painted and written in Cyrillic across the bottom, on the left reads "Troika" which is the name of the type of sleigh. The center reads Kholui, the name of the town it was painted in (this town is known for it's painting industry.) On the right is Petrov, the surname of the artist. The scene is of a team of horses pulling a Russian sleigh with a mansion and log homes in the background. Nice detail on this piece and I want to point out there is gold metallic highlighting in the painting of the family & the horses that doesn't show well in the photos, this is something the Kholui painters are known for. There is also a fine band of scrollwork around the sides of the box. Red lacquer interior.

Approx size is 6" l x 4.25" w x 1.75" h

Condition*: Excellent, there are two tiny paint chips on the bottom edge of the lid, see photos.
