Vintage Soviet Russian Pokerwork Painted Wood Box

Handmade Russian wooden box depicts Zagorsk Monastery (Trinity Lavra of St. Sergius) using hand colored pokerwork. In pokerwork, also known as pyrography, the main ornamental composition is drawn in the wood with a heated needle. This picture is then painted in simple or complex color schemes, then coated with lacquer. Paperwork included indicates it is pre Soviet dissolution. About 4” square, 1.75” tall. No condition issues.
