Two hunters on horseback pursue their respective prey on this work from N. Molodkin. Soft earth tones lend an autumnal feel to the piece, while thin accents of gold paint add interest. Each man goes after his quarry in the manner proscribed, The pheasant hunter releasing a falcon, and the stag hunter blowing a curved horn to summon his hounds. The background of the scene is nicely done, with good detail in the trees and tiny flowers. This box is made of high quality papier mache and is signed on the underside of the lid with the title, artist's name, and village. There is no hinge, and the interior is red lacquer. The base of this piece is flush. A really fine looking box for this traditional theme.--BOX1280
