Family Matryoshka

Ussr 1970, material wood, cm height 12

A charming four-piece wooden Matryoshka from 1970s Russia depicts a complete family: father, mother, son, and daughter.
Each doll is hand-painted, showcasing the skill and artistry of Russian folk craftsmen.
In Russian culture, Matryoshkas often symbolize large family dynamics, including grandmothers, great-grandmothers, uncles, and grandchildren.
The Matryoshka also represents the Russian matron, a strong woman who holds the family together—often depicted as the grandmother, or babushka.
This vintage set captures both the warmth and complexity of family life in miniature form.
