 | Russian Lacquer Miniatures
Lacquer miniatures are painted in the central Russian villages of Kholui, Palekh, Fedoskino and Mstiora. They have their roots in icon-painting, but today often depict fairy tales, landscapes and scenes from village life. The miniatures are painted on papier mache and lacquered to finish. This unique art form is created by highly-trained artists who study for five years to qualify.
