The town of Kizhi is one of the most ancient towns of Russia. It is a real masterpiece of Russian wood architecture. Now there is a museum of it there disposing of a great number of wooden churches, cathedrals and usual dwelling houses. Many of them were brought from other Russian regions. The uniqueness of all these buildings consists in that fact that they were built without using of iron nails, the constructors used only pegs. At the picture you can see the wonderful domes and pointed roofs, the buildings are surrounded by the wonderful landscape and astonishing sky.
The jewellery lacquer box is handmade by the Kholui Association that specializes in producing 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.
