The shy young girl demurely accepts Morozko's gifts of warm clothing and precious stones as the woodland creatures stare at Old Man Winter's uncharacteristic show of generosity. The box is nicely painted in colors evoking the icy glow of a moonlit winter night. This box is made of high quality papier mache and is signed on the lid with the title, artist's name (L. Belova), and village. There is a hinge at the top, and the interior is red lacquer. It rests on three round legs.--BOX1505
