Description

The casket "Red Dawn" was created in 1937 in the famous center of lacquer miniature painting — the village of Palekh, USSR. The author of the painting is O. Korina. The subject is presumably dedicated to Stepan Razin, which is typical of Soviet art of the 1930s, which turned to historical and folklore themes.

The item is made of papier-mâché, covered with black lacquer, painted with tempera and decorated with gold. The Palekh painting technique is distinguished by fine detailing, multi-figure compositions, and decorative quality. Gilding is used to create light accents and add elegance to the piece.

Dimensions of the casket: 12 x 127 x 27 mm. The condition of the item is not specified in the description, so it is recommended to carefully inspect it for chips, lacquer wear, and preservation of the painting before purchase.

For collectors of lacquer miniatures, this casket is of interest as an example of Palekh art from the 1930s, a period of flourishing of the craft, when masters actively explored Soviet themes but also turned to historical subjects. The presence of authorship by O. Korina and the exact date increases its significance.
