The deep burnished copper of the surrounding landscape creates a stunning contrast with the figures, enhancing the illusion of light. This box is made of high quality papier mache and is signed on the lid with the artist's name (Svyatchenkov) and village. There is a hinge on the left, and the interior is red lacquer. The base of the piece is flush. Timeless.--BOX1055
