Vintage Hand-painted Russian lacquer box, a traditional folk-art item. 
These boxes are typically made from papier-mâché and feature intricate miniature paintings, often depicting scenes from Russian folklore or daily life. The signature visible in the image is in Russian script. 
Origin: This art form originated in the late 1700s in villages like Fedoskino, Palekh, Mstera, and Kholui.

Materials: Artists use oil paints (in Fedoskino) or egg tempera (in other villages) on papier-mâché bases, often incorporating mother-of-pearl or gold leaf for luminescence. 
Craftsmanship: The detailed designs are often painted with single-hair brushes under magnification, requiring significant skill and time
