Description
A miniature on miniatures, this book showcases the folk handicraft of decorative lacquer miniature painting. While the tradition is originally rooted in icon painting, artists of the Palekh region typically apply their craft to small boxes, such as the one on a jewely box dating from 1917 titled 'The arrival of Lenin in Petrograd' as seen on the verso of the title page.
