Carved Christmas Ornaments

Most of these were made 20-40 years ago in small batches in and around Sergiev Posad, St. Petersburg or Moscow. In all cases, we have just the one shown (with the exception of the snowman - we have a whole host of them).

  • Medieval Bogatyr (Средневековый богатырь). This fellow stands at attention with his sword raised. He wears a chain mail tunic and holds an elaborate hexagonal sword painted with a bright sun on a red background, capped by a silver helmet. Bogatyrs are legendary, and perhaps fictional, warriors based on historical figures from the era of Kievan Rus. They were cast in impossibly heroic roles in folk tales and bylinas (былины), which are epic narrative poems.
