Polish Art Center - Nun Nesting Doll

This Nun Nesting Doll realistically depicts 5 nuns in habits and traditional garb, which varies from doll to doll signifying different orders. The nuns no doubt live in the convent and devote their lives to prayer, meditation, and helping others. This religiously themed matryoshka can serve as a daily inspiration and reminder to take a moment for quiet reflection.

Caution: Small parts, not for children under 3 years due to choking hazard.
Please do not let your children put nesting dolls into their mouths.

Production Techniques:
Hand Painting/ Decoupage. This doll was carved in the Upper Volga region, then delivered to the Golden Cockerel workshop in St. Petersburg , Russia . Our 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 we baptize each doll in multiple layers of non-toxic water-based lacquer to make a marvelous matryoshka that will delight children and collectors.
