The first matryoshkas were created at the end of the 19th century, and then represented a peasant woman holding a rooster under her arm.
This is also where matryoshkas get their name, since in Russian we call a " Matryoshka " a robust-looking country woman. The rooster symbolized fertility, and in fact matryoshka dolls are still often perceived as a guarantee of fertility.
