    • The Bogatyrs (Богатыри). Also known as "The Three Bogatyrs", the original painting by Viktor Vasnetsov (1848-1926) is arguably one of Russia's most famous paintings. It is currently housed in the State Tretyakov Gallery in Moscow. Vasnetsov began work on the painting in 1881, and completed it 1898. It depicts several mythical Russian medieval knights, including Ilya Muromets (Илья Муромец) in the center, Alyosha Popovich (Алеша Попович), and Dobrynya Nikitich (Добрыня Никитич). These legendary, but fictional, heroic men are based on historical figures from the era of Kievan Rus (882-1240) who were cast into impossible roles in folk tales and epic narrative poems known as bylinas (былины). This handsome replica was accurately and skillfully painted in Russia about 30-35 years ago by acclaimed artist Igor V. Shepel. It is mounted into an Italian gold leaf frame. Painting is about 12" x 18", and, in the frame, about 22" x 16". Weight is about 3 pounds.

    • Golden Samovar Matryoshka (Матрешка Золотой самовар).  An early, fully handmade and painted 9-nest matryoshka dated 1990 and signed by the artist V. Lagutina (В. Лагутина). Her signature is in itself unusual, since USSR hadn't collapsed yet (it did at the end of 1991). Many of the vintage Russian matryoshkas from 1987 to 1999 found artists declining to sign their work due to old fears of engaging in "capitalist" endeavors (making a profit) and having a trail linked back to them. This was more pronounced in the bigger cities, where fear of reprisals was hard to shed completely. The number of pieces in the set is also unusual and uncommon. The finished pieces are covered with a soft, smooth lacquer. The floral embellishments are disciplined and the samovar is filled in with "potal" ("поталь"), which is a form of gold foil decoration that imitates gilding. Atop the samovar, and eventually taking over, is a blue and white teapot painted in the Gzhel style. Even the dark handles are painted in. A real attractive set!

    • Lavra of Sergiev Posad (Лавра в Сергиевом Посаде). The Trinity Lavra of St. Sergius (Троице-Сергиева лавра) is the most important and historical Russian monastery and the spiritual center of the Russian Orthodoxy. The monastery is in the town of Sergiev Posad, about 40 miles northeast from Moscow. Its founding in 1337 by St. Sergius of Radonezh is well documented in the contemporary lives of Sergius and his disciples. Famous iconographers and powerful tsars all gained fame and notoriety in this humble lavra. The artist has painted an impressive and positive rendering of the monastery, its gates, cupolas, and immediate surroundings. Bottom of the first doll is painted green to reflect the grassy earth. 7 nest, 6¼" down to 1¼".  Fully lacquered. Signed by the artist and dated 1998.
