These Russian wood carved eggs are absolutely unusual. They are a unique combination of woodcarving and hand painting by Russian artists. They are hand carved from one piece of wood and some of them are hand painted inside so that you can see three-dimensional background. Details are intricately hand carved. Inside the egg there are real small items like snails, pieces of real plants, etc., which are precisely incorporated by Russian artists. Eggs are a good luck present to wish long happy life, strong health or displayed at home for GOOD LUCK. This is a very old Russian tradition (for many Centuries). They are wonderful gift ideas for birthday, anniversaries, and other special occasions. Thank you for visiting us. You are welcome to visit our RUSSIAN ISLAND Store and Taste of Europe restaurant .
