Russian traditional art of Enamel Painting:

Finift is one of the outstanding Russian traditional arts - enamel painting.

This art came to Russia from Byzantine the middle of 17th century.

Works of this Rostov craft involve a technique of miniature painting on enamel in a filigree metal frame, in which a pattern from tiny wires is soldered to a metal surface.

The name finift comes from the Greek “fingitis,” which means, “gleaming.”

Finift has a unique depth and shine because the painting on enamel has many layers and each layer is fired.

The metal used for this piece is so called "German silver", which is an alloy of copper, zinc and nickel.

German silver actually does not contain any silver, however, is known for its toughness and resistance to corrosion.

Incredible handwork, beautiful details.
