The Snow Maiden emerges from a pink tinged clearing and emerges in the realm of humans. The blooming trees of her mother, Fairy Spring's ,domain contrast sharply with the snow covered ground and winter bare trees before her. A large chest, filled with golden coins, sits open at her feet. Perhaps it is a gift from her parents, to insure her success. The scene is painted soft shades of blue and pink, giving it a tender feeling.This box is made of high quality papier mache and is signed on the lid with the title, artist's name, and village. There is a hinge on the left,and the interior is red lacquer. It rests on four round feet. A bold traditional scene with eye catching colors by A. V. Golovneva. --BOX1437
