Two dancers from Tchaikovsky's ballet "Swan Lake" strike a graceful and tender pose as they gaze toward the heavens. This lovely box by Kholui artist Krasnov has tiny sparkles sprinkled throughout the sky that twinkle like stars and create an even more magical look to the piece. (The effect, of course, is not visible on the computer monitor) The box is made out of high quality papier mache and has a red interior. The box has a hinge at the top. It is signed with the name of the artist, village and title.
