About the Item

Superb quality Russian hand painted lacquer Wood Grouse box by Prokofieva for Kholui 20th Century Museum quality, Soviet era piece done in scarlet, black and gold. An intricate gold border surrounds the oval painting of a stunning black grouse, highlighted with gold, perched on a naturalistic pine branch against a dramatic scarlet background, titled "Glukhar" in Cyrillic, artist signed, Prokofieva. Made in USSR on the base. Exquisite details set this piece apart- each pine needle on the intricate branches is highlighted in gold with tiny jewel-like pine cones scattered throughtout. The black and gold grouse appears ethereal against a glowing background achieved by the placement of minute gold brushstrokes on toned, textured red surface. A miniature masterpiece. Condition: Very Good, light surface wear commensurate with age, the red interior with some small raised areas, intact, the painting on the top is pristine. 5 inch by 3.5 inch oval, 1.5 inches high Glukhar in Russian translates to Wood Grouse ( Western Capercaillie), the largest member of the grouse family. This fascinating species has a unique courtship ritual- the males gather at traditional sites, leks, to perform a "dance" with fanned tails, wing flapping, whisles and clicks. During this ritual, the birds are temporarily deaf as a result of the intense courtship calls.
