The folk tale about the Little Humpbacked Horse is well-known and has a few variations, but each one has the same storyline. The best known version was written in the first half of the 19th century by poet Yershov, who adopted this Siberian folk tale and transformed it into a charming poem. The poem became very popular and had been published seven times during Yershov's life.
Nowadays it still remains one of the most beloved fairy tales. This traditional Khouli work, painted on a jewelry box, depicts the story of an unusual friendship between Ivan, the youngest son of a farmer, and a fantastic creature - a Little Humpbacked Hourse with long ears and enourmous stregth. Being a wonderful friend the Little Humpbacked Horse helps Ivan with all his problems. Ivan wanted to get just a feather of a Firebird that would bring him good luck. Instead he got the Firebird itself and a beautiful bride.
This piece is made of high quality papier mache and has traditional shape for lacquer art. It is signed on the rear with the artist's name, village, and date of completion. A truly impressive work.
