Matryoshka in Russia we call a round brightly painted wooden doll, which contains more smaller dolls in itself. The toy was intended for children and should provide the simplified notion of fertility, motherhood and family.
The choice of name is not accidental. At that time Matronja was (lovingly Matryosha, Matrjoschechka) in Russia very popular and common woman's name. Also is in the root of the name Latin word "mater" (mother), leading to the idea of the doll fits very well. The
matryoshkas first produced in Moscow and were quite expensive. But after the Paris Exhibition in 1900 the whole world the peasant girl lay at your feet. The production was moved to the old monastery town Sergiev Posad near Moscow. A few years later, carved or painted practically every resident of Sergiev Posad matryoshkas . The demand was huge, and so also specialized in other cities around Moscow in the manufacture of wooden dolls: Semenov, Polkhow-Maidan, Tver, Vyatka, and others.
Even today, most are handmade matryoshkas . Especially important is the Selection of the wood. The best is lime or birch wood. First, the smallest doll is carved, which is sometimes tiny as a fingernail . The next figure will be adjusted accordingly. And so the work goes on, until there is gradually a complete set. Thereafter, the wooden puppet comes to a painter, you're missing a player and a chic outfit.
We find the unpainted version is much more exciting. Just raw and unpainted, as a design object, or create yourself hand is needed.
Here are some inspirations of russchischen Industrial designer Irina Troitskaya.
