5 Layer Wooden Animal Nesting Dolls Beautiful Matryoshka Doll Toy Gift - Lion

I love this unique and exquisite set of Russian nesting dolls (matryoshka) with the winter %26 arctic animal theme perfect for all year round, but especially Christmas on into February. I was looking for a set that was high-quality wood, elegant artwork, and timeless subjects. I saw one or two Christmas themed ones around, but the painting was juvenile and the subjects from largest a smallest never made much sense. This set is perfect, however, and I love how the polar bear holds the penguin, who holds the raccoon, who holds the snowy owl, who then holds the singular ending piece of the squirrel. I really cannot rave enough about this set, because there's almost nothing out there like it, and if there was, I would expect it to be something you could only get from MoMA in New York, for example. It would be wonderful to have 10 or more of these nesting dolls as the traditional matryoshka sets do, but they are all often the same same beautiful Russian woman image instead of having different subjects, so having 5 is plenty, and there really is no wasted space. Got this for myself forChristmas, and I was so excited when it came and it's everything I hoped it would be. Gorgeous!
