You will enjoy having me in your home and I will remind you of Russia. My creator has dressed me in a Russian 18th Century folk costume, and a headdress, made of velvet, silk, and brocade, decorated with ribbons and beads to make it look pretty. My head, hand, and feet are made from porcelain and fired at 1350 c. They are very strong. My arms and legs are flexible and I can change my position or sit on a chair.”

I purchased the doll in 2000 at the Houston, Texas Museum of Natural Science’s Kremlin Gold: 1000 years of Russian Gems Exhibition.
