<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Figtree3, post: 3868024, member: 33&quot;]The word at the left is not Nanex. It is the word &quot;Palekh&quot; in Cyrillic letters. I am using my phone right now and don&#039;t have easy access to type those letters. Generally on Russian lacquerware boxes, the city of origin is on the left ; the title of the picture is in the middle, often in quotation marks; and the name of the person who painted it is on the right. Sometimes the name is just initials. The painters are often company employees, not identifiable. I see this is all identified already. The BA on the right would probably be the Cyrillic letters for VA. I say &quot;probably&quot; only because I have not enlarged the letters on my phone screen to verify what thay are. (I have looked just now and verified the initials are V. A.)</p><p><br /></p><p>Lovely box![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
