Emelya and the Pike Lacquer Trinket Box
A small hand-painted Russian lacquer box with a winter fairy-tale scene: a boy in a sheepskin coat, felt boots and a red-crowned fur hat kneels in the snow beside an ice hole, where a magic pike rears up out of the water to speak to him — Emelya and the Pike, from the much-loved tale По щучьему веленью (At the Pike's Behest), in which the lazy lad frees the talking fish and is rewarded with wishes granted "by the pike's command". Snow-capped log huts and a flurry of flakes fill the night sky behind, picked out in white and pale blue against glossy black. Gold scallop border, with the artist's signature in the corner. Just the right size for rings, earrings or cufflinks — a charming winter gift.
