The art form originated in the 18th century and is associated with four main villages near Moscow: Palekh, Mstera, Kholyi, and Fedoskino, each with its own distinct style.
The boxes are created using a multi-step process involving papier-mâché blanks, oil paints, and multiple layers of glossy varnish.
