Description from the seller

This magnificent jewelry box is a true miniature masterpiece from the famous village of Palekh, one of the most prestigious centers of Russian lacquer art.
Refined illustration of Charles Perrault's 'Little Red Riding Hood,' this piece is authenticated by a handwritten inscription inside the lid.
The main scene shows a remarkable finesse of line work, with gold highlights characteristic of the Palekh school.
