Alkota Russian Treasures Woodcarvings:
During the Communist year in Russia, religious art could not find any expression - it was banned altogether. The regime fell, and the precious old traditions of their predecessors were revived by contemporary Russian masters. Russian religious art is now famous around the globe.
These intricately carved and hand painted Nome represent the mastery of Russian artists, their unique gift for creating magic.
The woodcarvings we offer are hand-carved from a solid piece of wood and hand-painted by the best Russian artists. The wood is from the Linden tree and is carefully selected and dried for at least two years. Carvings are traditionally carried from village to village to be exquisitely hand-painted by selected, talented artists. In some cases, figures travel over a thousand miles and it may take several weeks to complete a single piece.
The magnificent painting on each woodcarving is unique to that artist and usually present scenes from the winter holiday seasons and characters from Russian folklore.
Other fine carvings include beautiful Angel Figurines, carved Santas, Snowmen, Cathedrals, Nomes, Russian Bears And Nativity Sets.
Nutcrackers are perhaps the most interesting "modern" Christmas ornaments which became popular fairly recently -- in the last two hundred years. The story of The Nutcracker and the Mouse King was written by E. T. A. Hoffmann (1816). Alexandre Dumas' adaptation of the story was set to music by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky and has become the most popular ballet performed around Christmas time. It is appealing to children and adults alike and has been a standard Christmas feature of theaters all over the world.
Nutcracker today is not a purely functional item. It is intricately carved and hand painted to make it a truly spectacular ornament for your Christmas tree, your mantel place, etc. It's perfect as a stocking stuffer too.
These unique Russian treasures we present will bring special festive atmosphere into your home. They make great presents for you and your loved ones.
