The Tale of the Humpbacked Pony comes to life in this piece. We see as Ivan disregards the warning of the humpbacked pony not to touch the Firebird. The Firebird becomes enraged as his tail feather is being pulled out by a curious Ivan. Beautiful pink and gold designs decorate the night sky. This piece is made of high quality papier mache with a red lacquer interior. This piece is flush. The top is signed with title, village, and artist (Romanova).
