Baba Yaga sits outside her hut, a black cat to her side. She looks sad, but perhaps it is just a ploy to get the two children to come a little bit closer. Fedoskino artist Sergey Zotov, known for his unique shapes, doesn't disappoint us with this one. The main part of the work is indeed a small box, but then there are two carved appendages attached to it, one of which has the children drawn on it. Throughout the work, tasteful gold highlights have been carefully drawn on various objects. The bottom part of the box is a mix of light gray with pink swirls.

The box is made out of high quality papier mache and has a hinge on the left. The interior is red. Signed with the name of the artist and title.
