This figurine of Snegurochka, the companion of Ded Moroz, originates from 1940s Russia and represents a distinct example of traditional folk art from the region. Made from a composite material, most likely papier-mâché, the piece stands 42 cm tall. Its light turquoise robe with a matte, faded finish highlights its historical character. The front of the dress features a cream panel with blue dots, bordered by yellow-gold painted trim. The kokoshnik, or traditional headpiece, is adorned with blue decorative motifs and painted jewelry-like details. The face is delicately rendered with preserved original polychrome. Visible craquelure, paint loss, and surface abrasions attest to the authenticity and age of the figurine. The simple construction and molded details are characteristic of Russian folk traditions both in form and decoration. The figurine evokes a sense of time captured, as if it holds within it the narrative and rituals of Russian winter celebrations. The cracked surface and gentle signs of wear suggest the warmth of family gatherings and customs passed down over generations. The turquoise hue, together with hand-painted ornamentation, creates the impression of an object present at countless festive occasions, bearing traces of stories and emotions from decades past. It may be displayed on a sideboard, console, or shelf in the living room, serving as a focal point among other vintage or folk-inspired decorative elements. It can be combined with natural wood, textiles in warm muted tones, or milk glass. Soft, diffused lighting—such as from a table lamp or candles—will enhance the painterly texture and subtle color nuances. The figurine pairs well with other seasonal collectibles or simple ceramic vessels to create a cohesive, inviting atmosphere.
