Russian nesting doll, Stacking dolls, or Russian doll, is a set of wooden dolls of decreasing size placed one inside another. … Much of the artistry is in the painting of each doll, which can be very elaborate.
This particular Russian Nesting Doll belongs to someone I know, and I was wondering about its worth. I searched and searched and can’t find this exact one. I found one similar and it was worth a little more, so my intuition says that this one might be a little more valuable than most.
These type of stacking dolls are interesting to search about. I found ones that looked like presidents, cartoon characters, etc. Some of them were not very expensive, but I did find some that were very expensive. Very interesting!
If you can tell if this Russian nesting Doll looks valuable at all please leave me a comment about it, and thank you.
Here is some information I found for you

Thank you so much I will check it out now.
Well my doll has the name brag on the bottom. The doll is in good shape. I think it is a little more valuable but i can’t find the specific doll that i have to see its value. Thank you
Unfortunately, I do not know anything about it. Just yesterday I got this kind of dolls as a gift from my eldest sister after she came home from Russia. I am sure it is a cheap thing in terms of price but expensive in terms of attention.
But Albert after I searched more about it, some went as high as 5,000 lol but I still can’t find my exact one. Most are not that expensive, but there are more expensive ones too.
May depend on the basic materials and finishing.
Can you tell if the gilding is actual gold or not? That would be a place to start…
Alex it does say brag on the bottom of the doll. This one looks more authentic
I have no idea what brag is indicative of
Thank you tasartcraft for the compliment.
They are called ‘babushki’ and are very popular in Russia! That’s a lovely post!
I have no clue what the value is but they are beautiful.
You could check EBay for one like this perhaps.
My brother once got me some Russian dolls similar to this one Christmas. I love them.
