Petrykiv Ethnic Rectangular Wooden Lacquer Jewelry Box with Lid, Hand Painted Flowers on Black (red and yellow)

Once you take this folk-art masterpiece in your hands, you will not want to give it away. This unique, hand-painted jewelry box comes to you from the heart of Europe - Central Ukraine. It is professionally painted by an artist in the original Ukrainian manner called "Petrykivka" or "Petrikov". Petrykivka decorative painting is characteristic of Ukrainian ornamental folk art, and it dates back to the 17th century. This technique is the finest example of unique Slavic art culture, creating an emotional reflection of the communion of humans and nature. Petrykivka painting combines a plentitude of ornaments, particularly flowers, with elements of a fantasy fauna (firebirds, phoenix or roosters) and mirrors the unity of physically real nature with the spiritual world, the idea of recurrence of life and endless rebirth. The United Nations recognized this manner of hand painting as a unique form of intangible traditional practices of European culture. Each box requires four coats of lacquer finish, which gives it a deluxe glossy surface. The painting on this jewelry box is signed by the artist to prove its authenticity. Keep your memorabilia in a stash box with unique aura! It is also useful for storing valuable trinkets, travel mementos, keepsakes, spare change or may be even your Tarot cards deck.
