This is 7 piece set of Russian straw inlaid Matroshka dolls. The largest doll measures 6 1/2 inches tall and the smallest measures less than 1/2 inch tall. They are hand crafted and painted. One of the special features of this nesting doll set is the intricately applied inlaid straw (wheat) arranged by hand in unusual geometric patterns peculiar to the Kirov region. These inlaid sets, because of the work involved, are difficult to find.
