alexbq2 Posted October 9, 2009 Report Share Posted October 9, 2009 Sergiev Posad (that's a location - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sergiyev_Posad) 10 M (meters?) and the name of artist with initials - Mashiroff A.N. Is that a nested doll? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BKB Posted October 9, 2009 Report Share Posted October 9, 2009 Sergiev Posad (that's a location - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sergiyev_Posad) 10 M (meters?) and a name with initials - Mashiroff A.N. + 3 letters Avt. probably is an abbreviation of the word "author" or "maker" in this sense. Why 10 meters?! :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

one-kuna Posted October 9, 2009 Report Share Posted October 9, 2009 10 M - means 10 matryoshka (dolls), there is nothing you can keep in the smallest piece; each russian store around the world and in US have a large selection of them; some of them are the large size and very pretty, and very expensive, can be up to a thousand dollars; very long time ago there were available as martyoshka design only, but past decade there are presidents, tsars, others selebrities are available for sale at russian stores all around the world Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scottishmoney Posted October 10, 2009 Report Share Posted October 10, 2009 Good grief, if I could sell all the matryoshkii in our house for a $100 eaches, we would be rich. I think we might possibly have at least 10 of them, because my daughters love them and buy them in Ukraine. In Ukraine you can buy a set of 10-11 dolls for about $8-10.

In New York, in Manhattan around Lincoln Center area The Russian Gift store can sell it at the highest prices Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
