A beautifully hand‑painted Russian lacquer box featuring the Orthodox feast “Сретение Господне” (The Presentation of the Lord). Signed by artist T. Grishaeva, this miniature reflects the traditional style of the Kholui lacquer school, known for its warm palette, softened figures, and gold detailing.
Crafted from lacquered papier‑mâché and painted in tempera, the box displays classic iconographic elements: haloed figures, stylized architecture, and a rich gold border. Its compact size makes it ideal for collectors of Russian miniatures, Orthodox iconography, or devotional art.
