The air glows golden as the young maiden holds aloft the feather of Finist the Falcon. Her spinning sits forgotten before her, a ball of yarn forlornly rolling across the floor. Summoned by the feather, Finist appears behind her in his true form; that of a handsome prince! The pair is dressed in vivid colors, and a gold foil inlay in the prince's hat, sash and in the feather bring an even greater luminosity to the scene. This box is made of high quality papier mache and is signed on the lid with the the artist's name (Gomzina) and village. A well done gold ornament decorates the sides. There is a hinge on the left, and the interior is red lacquer. The base of this piece is flush.
