When that one is opened, another smaller one is inside. This goes on four times and you end up with 5 different sized dolls that stack inside one another. Largest doll measures approximately 7".

All figurines were different from each other, the last one was a figurine of a baby wrapped in diaper. Ever since then roosters and other poultry have been often pictured on matryoshka dolls. It is important to emphasize that poultry has always been treated a "pets" by both village and town children. Chicks and ducklings are often pictured in the hands of children being in the same nesting doll set with children holding kittens and puppies.

Salaries remain small, in many places they are being either delayed or "paid in product" (i.e. instead of cash you get the equivalent value of products that your plant manufactures), and rural Russians do not have much choice but grow their own fruits and vegetables, poultry and cattle - to feed themselves. Russians have always been thankful to the soil for all the "gifts of the land" - as they often gratefully call fruits and vegetables - that it is giving them. Harvesting, baskets of ripe fruits, berries, mushrooms and other "gifts of the land" have become a prominent "theme" of traditional nesting doll painting. The doll before you is one of the Russian ways to say "thank you" to the rich Russian soil.

More Info on the Item / Related Story RUSSIAN TEA-DRINKING Tea-drinking is an indispensable part of the life of the Russian people. Tea is not only a very popular daily beverage in Russia, but it is also remarkable for its special poetic atmosphere Tea-drinking is associated with a Russian hospitality, with a friendly company and relatives, with warm and serene feelings. Tea was introduced to Russia in the early seventeenth century from China. It was brought to Muscovy in 1638 by the boyar son Vasily Starkov, who was sent with gifts to the Mongol Khans. The new drink was tested at the Court of Tsar Mikhail Feodorovich, it was favourably met and thus came into use. The first agreement for the delivery of tea from China was signed during the reign of Feodor Alexeyevich in 1679. Starting in the eighteenth century, Russia had an intense trade in Chinese tea through Mongolia and Siberia. Indian and later Ceylon tea began to be imported to Russia, similarly to West European countries, in the nineteenth century. The spread of a tea-drinking custom in Russia was largely promoted by the introduction of special tea urns, samovars, in the eighteenth century. The samovar became an indispensable attribute of tea-making (unlike West European varieties, where they were used for heating a bouillon). Its growing
