Hand-painted Russian lacquer box with a mythological motif featuring Sirin as the main character. Sirin is a beautiful woman with a bird's body. She symbolizes eternal joy and heavenly happiness. Her wings are inlaid with mother-of-pearl, creating a shiny reflection when moved. I can't capture this in the photos. Nice warm tones. It is in a pristine, undamaged state. The hinge is also fine and the lid closes properly.

The dimensions are approximately:

Height: 3.5 cm
Length: 16 cm
Width: 10.5 cm
Weight: 136 g

Handgeschilder Russisch lakdoosje met een mythologisch decor met Sirin als hoofdpersoon. Sirin is een mooie vrouw in met een vogel lichaam. Zij staat symbool voor eeuwige vreugde en hemelse blijdschap. Haar vleugels zijn bewerkt met parelmoer waardoor er glanzende weerspiegeling ontstaat bij beweging. Dit krijg ik niet op de foto's. Mooie warme tinten. Verkeert in een prachtige onbeschadigde staat. Scharnier is ook nog prima en het deksel sluit goed af. 

De afmetingen circa:

Hoogte: 3,5 cm
Lengte: 16 cm
Breedte: 10,5 cm
Gewicht: 136 gram
