Rostov Finift Miniature Painting "Byliniy"

Product Description

Byliniy (Былины) are heroic poems. These ancient texts includes such works of folklore as "Sadko", "Avdotya Ryazanochka", "Vavila and the buffoons", as well as epics about Russian heroes endowed with high moral qualities and selfless devotion - "Ilya Muromets and Nightingale the Robber", "Dobrynya and the Serpent", "Alyosha Popovich and Tugarin Zmeevich "and many others. An interesting aspect of this finely detailed Rostov miniature enamel painting in its original oak frame is the religious allegory of Russian saints, such as Boris and Gleb, or Cyril and Methodius. 

This is a finely detailed Rostov miniature enamel painting in its original oak frame. Dimensions of the painting: 2⅛" x 2¾", and 3" x 3⅝" overall. Small hole was drilled for hanging, though piece displays better on an easel (plastic easel is included). 1 available.

Note: the picture of the remnant of original paper tag (which is not on this piece) is from another miniature, which we kept online for identification purposes.
