The long beard of Chernomor surround the beautiful Ludmila in this lovely nesting doll by the artist O. Volynkina. The purple, pink, green and shades of blue complement each other beautifully. A sprinkling of sparkling glitter adds a dazzling though to the largest piece. Hand drawn and painted throughout, with a light coat of lacquer to give it a subtle shine. The theme of the doll is from the Russian fairy tale Ruslan and Ludmila which you can read here.
