Vintage Brooch “Firebird” – Hand Painted Mstera Lacquer Miniature, Russian Folk Art

This unique vintage brooch is a true collector's item of Russian craftsmanship. It comes from Mstera, one of the most famous centers for Russian lacquer miniatures, and depicts the "Firebird" scene from Russian folklore.
