A Little Bit of Russia...

I love the steeple churches...this makes me think of Dr. Zhivago...
that is definitely a Viking ship...

I love the headgear...nicely rendered...

I love the way the mother of pearl shows through and looks like Aurora Borealis lights...

that is so clever with the mother of pearl sky and shimmery lake...

lacquerwork mirror featuring a particular Russian fairytale, I'm sure...

A thriftstore find for a couple of dollars...but I wanted something Russian Double Eagle...and there it is, part of the bargain...
