This Russian matryoshka nests four Irish Santas and a snowman. Each jolly fellow holds a different item: a silver bell, an accordion, a bouzouki, and stocking filled with goodies. Put a candle in your window, hang some holly around the door, and set out our Irish Santa nesting doll -- you're celebrating Christmas Irish-style!

Production Techniques: Hand Painting/Decoupage. This doll was carved in the Upper Volga region, and then delivered to the workshop in St. Petersburg, Russia. Once there, artists first hand paint the background, then apply various detailed elements, such as faces, which we print on a very thin vinyl adhesive. Such elements are reproduced original works of art we make specifically for nesting doll design. It is the artist's magic brush that blends the two forms of artwork together into a unified piece. Finally, each doll is baptized in multiple layers of non-toxic water-based lacquer to make a marvelous matryoshka that will delight children and collectors. The bottom of the largest doll gets stamped with the "Made in Russia" mark of quality, initialed by the artist, and dated like a true collectible. We can only hope you will give it a good home.

Caution:
Small parts, not for children under 3 years.
