Swans, handpainted on this jewellery lacquer box are considered to be the most faithful birds and when they say goodbye, they do it forever. Swan’s song is the song of farewell and the miniature on this hand-painted box is penetrated by the sorrowful notes. Several swans, a cathedral in the middle of the island, midget ships, washed ashore , everything is enveloped in dark tones. Weak rays, seeping through the clouds symbolize the gleam of hope. The beauty of the swans, their majestic bearing makes everyone admire them and gives hope to the hearts.
The lacquer box is made by the Kholui Association that specializes in producing handpainted painted boxes of papier-mache. This material is more lasting than the wood, which can crack because of time or moisture. Papier-mache is an art which has deep roots in the Russian history. Producing of every item is a very long and labour-consuming process. The beautiful painting which covers the boxes is very detailed and originates from the Russian icon painting. The main aspects in producing of miniatures are right preparation and blending of paints (all paints are handmade), several stages of lacquering and polishing, and of course the mastery of the Kholui artists. The principal topics of miniatures are the landscapes and architectual monuments of Russia, the plots and protagonists of Russian fairy tales, fables and legends.
