| The dogs have pinned the wolf! A knife blade reflects the autumn sun, but only for an instant as it's drawn from its sheath... |

| This simply breathtaking masterpiece of miniature painting
begins in full stride -- the tenseness and chaos of a wolf hunt is captured on
the very first doll! There are ninety Borzois
and forty-five horses expertly hand painted on this 20-piece
set. The smallest doll is ½ the size of baby's fingernail and painted with the colors
of the Russian flag -- white, blue and red. Each of four antecedent dolls to it reveal
tiny, spectacularly detailed Borzois. Earth tones and autumn colors skillfully blend as the
chase moves from one doll to the next. A masterpiece by Oksana Sledkova. 12" tall, 6"
diameter. One only. $2000.
