Russian Matryoshka dolls, also known as nesting dolls, are a traditional Russian craft. They are made of wood and consist of a set of dolls that fit inside one another, typically painted in bright colors and intricate designs. The outermost doll is usually the largest, and as you open it, you find smaller dolls inside, each one representing a different character or theme. These dolls often symbolize family and motherhood, reflecting the idea of generations within a single family unit. Matryoshka dolls have become popular souvenirs and collectibles, representing Russian culture and artistry around the world.
