About the Item
Vintage USSR Russian Firebird folklore / fairy tale keepsake trinket box featuring hinged lid, footed base and red interior.
Palekh
Zhar-Ptitsa (Slavic Firebird)
Chernishova (last name of the artist)
The Russian Firebird - with wings which turned to flame and constant light-giving feathers, some have suggested it may have been a hybrid between Ercinee and an Arabian or Indian Phoenix, however it is generally accepted as being its own breed.
Zhar-Ptitsa are usually quite large birds, and are usually proportioned akin to peacocks. Their plumage is quite bright, in red, orange and yellow, and glowing as brightly and warmly as a bonfire past the more turbulent part of its span, once it has settled down. Their eyes are usually dark, although rarely there will be a Zhar-Ptitsa with glowing eyes, and those which more closely resemble Peacocks also often have brightly glowing eyes on their tail feathers.
The feathers of Firebirds have long been sought as prizes, for their beauty, their luminosity, even when taken from the bird, and their uses, in healing potions, and in wandmaking, as a substitute for other firebird feathers. Firebird feathers can glow so brightly they can be used to light rooms, and there are some pureblood Slavic families whose halls are lit by careful arrangements of Zhar-Ptitsa feathers.
