Duke Oleg, revered as a wise and just ruler, is approached by a seer as he leads his army. He holds out his arm, stopping the march to hear what the grizzled old man has to say. The storm clouds rising behind the troops foreshadow the sad prophecy. Oleg's horse, his favorite, will be the cause of his death! The scene is well painted, with nice details. This box is made of high quality papier mache and is signed on the lid with the title, artist's name (Kosobryukhova), and village. There is a hinge on the left, and the interior is red lacquer. It stands on four curved legs. An unusual miniature! --BOX1455
