Novelty babushkas painted as pop culture icons — musicians, movie characters, comic book heroes and famous faces. Underneath the playful subject is a genuine Matryoshka: kiln-dried lime, linden, birch or alder, hand-turned on a lathe, fitted uniquely half to half, and hand-painted by a skilled artist before being finished with protective lacquer. Celebrity Babushkas transform famous faces and pop-culture personalities into Russian nesting dolls. From musicians and actors to comic-book heroes and other recognisable figures, these sets make unusual gifts for collectors and fans.

Underneath the modern subject is a genuine Russian-made Matryoshka, hand-turned, individually fitted and hand-painted by an artist. Every finished set is signed by the artist who created it.
