Russian nesting doll is most popular Russian national souvenir. It is a folk art which came in at the end of 19th century which was a period of great economic development in Russia along with Russian culture mainly Russian Art.
Proficient artists worked along with folk craftsmen who preserved this artistic and traditional skill. The first Baushka was hand made in 1890 by Vasily Zvyozdochkin and designed by proficient artists who worked along with folk craftsmen. The first Russian nested doll set was carved in 1890 by Vasily Zvyozdochkin which was designed by Sergey Malyutin in an art workshop near Moscow. This craft continued to be a regional folk art before it won a bronze medal at the World Exhibition in Paris, thus giving it world wide recognition.
The art of renowned Matryoshkas was developed from an already developed folk art of creating Easter eggs nested one within another. The wood that was used was generally mostly lime wood. Other than lime, birch, alder and aspen woods are also used.
Matryoskha basically consists of a wooden figure which separates, top from bottom, to reveal a smaller figure of the same shape inside, which has, in turn, another figure inside of it, and so on..... Quite a lot of concentration was done while shaping and crafting the thinness of the dolls.
Russian doll derived its name matryoskha from the Latin word mater which meant mother in English. Russian family life was displayed out through the dolls, usually a peasant mother in traditional dress with a babushka scarf, and a portly figure and her many offspring. Here detailed attention was given to the facial expression of the dolls. While both male and female figures were portrayed, usually the innermost doll in the set of Russian Nesting Dolls was mostly a baby. Thus it articulated the oldest symbol of human culture.
