Painted caskets, which are also called lacquer miniatures, are very popular in the world.  The most popular of them is

  The boxes are made in the style of Fedoskino, Palekh, Kholui and Mstiora.  They are also known as Russian boxes.  Although this does not always mean that they are made only there.  There are also many artists in Ukraine who paint in such styles at a high level.  I offer to your attention a box of Ukrainian production and style.

  In the picture, made by a professional artist, you can see a beautiful young Ukrainian girl dressed in traditional Ukrainian clothes, namely a vyshyvanka and a dress, with a wreath of various flowers on her head.

  The casket is made of papier-mâché and has a rectangular shape.  It has 4 legs at the bottom.

  The drawing is made in the Fedoschino technique, one of the styles of lacquer miniatures, very thin and professional, the composition is thought out to the smallest detail, the edges are framed with a thin ornament.  Inside the box is decorated with red velvet.  At the final stage, the box is completely polished to a mirror shine.

     This box was made in 2023 in Ukraine.

The box will be a great gift for a collector, a loved one, or just as a keepsake.
