Category: Nesting Dolls
Subcategory: area traditional
Description: Adorned in assorted bright colors, the Polkhovski Maidan
matryoshka is clearly related in style to her Semenov sister. The Maidan rose
she carries is tied to local legend. As the story goes, Alenka, an inspired
young lady from Maidan, led an uprising against the czar, was burned mercilessly
at the stake, and buried near her home. The Maidan rose is said to have grown
upon her grave, and thus found its way into the motifs of the village’s work,
a symbol of Maidan’s independent spirit.
