We represent a group of wonderful artists from Belarus (Byelorussia). Belarus is Situated in the Eastern part of Europe. It shares borders with Russia in the North and East, Ukraine in the South-East, Poland in the West and Lithuania and Latvia in the North-East. Belarus is a landlocked, low-lying country with thick forests, flat marshes and vast, open fields. The area is 207.6 sq. km. Its length is 560 km (350 miles) from North to South and 650 km (460 miles) from East to West. Belarus is larger than Austria, Ireland or Greece and slightly smaller than Kansas.
Russian matryoshka or a Russian nested doll (french poupée russe) is a set of dolls of decreasing sizes placed one inside another.
The plural form Matryoshki should be used when referring to more than one doll and they are also called stacking dolls
in the United States.
A set of Matryoshka dolls consists of a wooden figure which can be pulled apart to reveal another figure of the same sort inside.
It has in turn another figure inside, and so on. The number of nested figures is usually six or more. The shape is mostly cylindrical,
rounded at the top for the head and tapered towards the bottom, but little else; the dolls have no hands (except those that are painted).
The artistry is in the painting of each doll, which can be extremely elaborate.
