Description

This wonderfully unique nesting doll tells the story of Koshei the
Immortal and Baba Yaga, the famous witch of Russia folklore. Each
brightly painted stacking doll is different in form, adding to the charm
of this unusual nester. First there’s Baba Yaga herself, flying about
in her mortar (according to legend, she uses the pestle as a rudder) and
holding the broom with which she sweeps away her tacks so no one can
see where she’s been. This witch features a 3-D bulbous nose, plus many
witchy details painted all about the doll, such as a black cat and
poisonous mushrooms. Inside Baba Yaga you’ll find her famous House on a
Chicken Foot, which she commands to walk about at will. This magical
house harbors the hollow Duck Egg with a secret treasure: a Silver
Needle which is critical for breaking the powers of the evil sorcerer
Koshei the deathless. Yes, all of that comes in this small little
curiosity of a matryoshka. Small parts, not for children under 3 years.
