Product Description
Semenov Cosmonaut (Космонавт). The cosmonaut matryoshka was produced to celebrate the vaunted Soviet space exploration program. This is the late 1980s version with unusual lathe work. The first doll is all one piece, the second, again, all one piece, has a collar and the third has a traditional Russian head covering.
