Father Frost bids farewell to his daughter, the Snowmaiden, who has decided to live among the mortals. The woodland creatures, who will become Snowmaiden's dearest friends, gather curiously around the magical pair. A wood imp sits behind the maiden, reaching for her hand to show her the way to the human village. This box is well painted in soothing, wintry tones, with thoughtfully placed bold accents. This box is made of high quality papier mache and is signed on the lid with the title, artist's name (K. Kumanev), and village. There is a hinge at the top, and the interior is red lacquer. It rests on four round legs, and bears the Kholui insignia on its base.--BOX1220
