The first Russian nested doll set was carved in 1890.Matryoshka dolls are a traditional representation of the mother carrying a child within her and can be seen as a representation of a chain of mothers carrying on the family legacy through the child in their womb. Furthermore, matryoshka dolls are used to illustrate the unity of body, soul, mind, heart, and spirit.A set of matryoshkas consists of a wooden figure, which separates at the middle, top from bottom, to reveal a smaller figure of the same sort inside, which has, in turn, another figure inside of it, and so on. The first Russian nested doll set was made in 1890 by wood turning craftsmanandwood carverVasily Zvyozdochkin.Traditionally the outer layer is a woman, dressed in asarafan, a long and shapeless traditional Russian peasantjumper dress. The figures inside may be of any gender; the smallest, innermost doll is typically a baby turned from a single piece of wood.
