[QUOTE="dude, post: 3287712, member: 13170"]I haven't measured or weighed it, but I'd say this piece is about 4-5" wide and about 4-5 ounces. I'm thinking modern, $50-75, egg-based tempera, from Palekh, but I'd like to be sure as these some of these boxes can fetch a lot. How can one tell what Russian Center these pieces are from: Palekh, Kholuy, Mystora, or Fedoskino? I know oil paints were used in Fedoskino, but what are some clues in the design/look (besides vivid details)? I'm also curious about the subject matter in the piece. Thanks in advance for any comments/suggestions.
