This finely crafted Russian lacquer box features a vivid hand-painted scene from the folk tale of Danila the Master, attributed to the renowned Palekh tradition. The central image depicts Danila, a legendary stonecutter, surrounded by glowing green crystals and mythical flora, with a crowned lizard symbolizing the Mistress of the Copper Mountain. Rich colors and radiant highlights animate the dramatic scene on a deep black lacquered background, bordered with traditional gold filigree. The box is signed by the artist and marked "П. ХолnƒÐ¹," indicating it originates from the village of Kholuy, one of the four primary centers of Russian lacquer miniature painting. The interior is finished in striking red lacquer, typical of these collectible narrative boxes. Measures approximately 3"L x 3"W.
