This 7-piece nesting doll set illustrates the Russian folk tale “The Giant Turnip (Repka)”. The largest doll depicts the grandfather holding a large green turnip, followed by figures representing the grandmother, granddaughter, dog, cat, and mouse, painted as progressively smaller nested dolls. The characters are hand-painted in warm folk colors with expressive faces and simple decorative patterns. The largest doll measures approximately 13.5 cm and contains six smaller story characters inside.
