Vintage Russian Folk Art Doll – 12” Handmade St. Petersburg Collectible

Vintage Russian Folk Art Doll – 12” Handmade St. Petersburg Collectible

This beautiful 12-inch handcrafted doll showcases traditional Russian folk attire in exquisite detail. She wears a vibrant royal blue dress with red and gold embellishments, topped with a striking red kokoshnik headdress adorned with sequins and beading. Her base is wood, stamped with the artist’s mark from St. Petersburg, Russia.

This handcrafted Russian doll is likely from the late 1980s to early 1990s, based on the materials, style, and the Cyrillic stamping on the wooden base. The stamp indicates it was made in St. Petersburg, Russia, by artisan Z.P. Shelepa, which adds provenance to the piece.
