A RARE WOODEN RUSSIAN DOLL
Sergiev Posad, Bogorodskoye, first half 19th Century
Hand painted and carved wooden sculpture of a lady. This type of toy is easily recognized as being of Russian origin because of the way it is cut. A triangular base and a flat back. It is clearly a piece from a tree trunk. Dried lime wood was used for this. These kinds of dolls rarely make it to the (western) market because they are not allowed to be exported. As is the case with so many Russian antiques.
