[QUOTE="Ladybranch, post: 198686, member: 44"]Like Fig has said, their eyes certainly aren't the traditional Russian Matryoshka, nesting dolls, eyes - big and dark. >Disney characters< My thoughts were also cartoon or early comic strip features. The closest I've come to this look of eyes, facial features, are Polish nesting dolls - mind you, certainly not identical. --- Susan Scroll about 1/2 way down page for the following pic of Polish nesting dolls: [URL]http://blog.teacollection.com/history-of-nesting-dolls[/URL] [IMG]http://i0.wp.com/blog.teacollection.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/PolishDolls.jpg?w=580[/IMG] [URL]https://www.pinterest.com/pin/285837907575105006/[/URL] [IMG]https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/564x/96/44/69/964469294aa68ae309863c381c5bf8d8.jpg[/IMG][/QUOTE]
