What is a Matryoshka doll?

A Matryoshka doll — also called a Russian nesting doll or babushka doll — is a set of wooden dolls of decreasing size placed one inside another. Each doll is hand-painted and opens at the middle to reveal a smaller doll inside. They are a beloved symbol of Russian folk art and culture.

What is the difference between a babushka, a Matryoshka, and a Russian nesting doll?

Babushka, Matryoshka, and Russian nesting doll all refer to the same traditional handcrafted wooden toy from Russia. 'Matryoshka' is the Russian name, 'babushka' means grandmother in Russian and is commonly used in Australia, and 'nesting doll' describes how each piece fits inside the next. All the dolls we sell at Dolls in Dolls are genuine Russian-made pieces. See our full FAQ here: https://dollsindolls.com.au/matryoshka-babushka-dolls-faq-australia/

About Our Russian Orthodox Icon Art

Russian Orthodox icon art is a centuries-old tradition of hand-painted religious imagery, created as objects of devotion, blessing and remembrance within the Orthodox Christian faith. Traditionally found in homes, churches and as treasured gifts, icons hold deep spiritual and cultural significance and are often passed down through generations.

At Dolls In Dolls, we take great care to understand and verify the origins of every icon piece we offer. Every item we stock represents traditional Russian Orthodox craftsmanship:

✔ Linden wood, typically dried for two to three years before carving
✔ Hand-turned or hand-shaped by a master craftsman
✔ Individually hand-painted by a skilled iconographer artist
✔ Finished with 3–5 layers of protective lacquer

Because every piece is handmade, each item has its own character — natural variations in wood grain, colour and painted detail make every piece genuinely unique.

SIGNED BY THE ARTIST

Every piece is individually signed by the iconographer who painted it — a mark of authenticity and provenance you won’t find on mass-produced religious items.

What Makes Our Icon Art Different

✔ Authentic Russian Orthodox icon art
✔ Traditional religious imagery, hand-painted with care and reverence
✔ Non-toxic and eco-friendly materials
✔ Each item unique — no two are exactly the same

Handmade variations in colour, wood grain and painted detail are natural characteristics of authentic craftsmanship, not defects. Please note this item may contain small parts and is not suitable for children under 3.
