"Palekh
Palekh miniature is a Russian folk handicraft of miniature painting, which is done with tempera paints on varnished objects made of papier-mache(such as small treasure boxes, powder boxes, beads-boxes, caskets, pens, brooches and etc.). Village of Palekh is located in 350 kilometers Northeast of Moscow in the Ivanovo region of Russia. Palekh lacquer Art on papier-mache first appeared in 1923, when former icon-painters organized "The Palekh Artel of Ancient painting" after the success of lacquer miniature painting in the village of Fedoskino. The technology of making papier-mache was also borrowed from Fedoskino Artists. The Palekh miniatures are usually represents characters and scenes from real life, literary works and Fairytales. Palekh Boxes are painted with bright paints over the black background and are known for their elongated, graceful figures(as on icons), elaborate gold and/or silver ornamentation applied in fine lines throughout the painting; intricate decorative borders, which often cover the surface of the lids and sides of the articles completely.
