I've decided to use Bits & Pieces to document the various treasures and magic items that cross my path.
To begin: this beautiful wooden trinket box, (30cm x 14cm x 8cm), etched and painted with a rendition of "A Boyar Wedding Feast" by Russian artist Konstantin Makovsky(1839–1915)![Russian wooden trinket box - Boyar Wedding Feast](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi9zzTGIVil3wgIuaXtCESkBZCylzd0QZHoLRjV2qlaUJHx3-9LOo9DfNgJE6sVuq42kRA5ek64NbXRxsSF8ZE8FyFtkdqNancf-QlU4b88lTIZZTEgHvyADXgsELYn3eklax7VjS3M7lY/s640/2016-05-14+07.16.42.jpg)

Russian wooden trinket box - Boyar Wedding Feast |
The image is beautifully rendered, and a fascinating scene, just before the wedding toast. The bride looks, a best very bashful, but actually kind of sad. To the far left a young woman in a fancy head-dress glares at the bride. The craftsmanship and artistry that goes into the image, and the trim along the sides is absolutely astonishing. It's signed with the initial S. on a bottom corner.
