Gabriella C.1/10/2020Bellissima iconcina che può essere appesa o appoggiata. Come sempre in queste iconcine russe dipinte i particolari sono assai curati in ogni specifico dettaglio.Adorabile la scenetta rappresentata che richiama un che di fiabesco e nel contempo rappresenta la vittoria del bene sul male in favore della creazione divina.Grazie!
