    Hello, I came across these at an old church that was having a big sale. They are wooden and look hand painted. There are 7 dolls. There is a signature on the bottom but I can't read it well. Hoping someone can tell me if they are authentic and if they are worth much.

    Hi again, Tammy. Could you go back into your post & make all photos full size? (Select Edit, then think you have to go into the Other section to edit pix.) The signature is no doubt written in Cyrillic, which we could decipher if we could see it better.

    You can get an idea of the value of your dolls by checking Internet for matryoshka dolls sold & for sale.

    These aren't old, they cost about ten pounds new, can still buy them.

    Ditto.

    And yes, hand painted and authentic. Since they are souvenirs and not valuable, it isn't worth the effort to fake them.
