everything is OK about these dolls except that the face is not hand-painted it seems to be a sticker that is put in place of the face.

Dear Ronna,
The dolls are decorated with a combination of hand painting and decoupage. After each set is carved in the Upper Volga region, the Russian Center of nesting doll carving. The dolls are delivered to a workshop in St. Petersburg, Russia. Artists first hand paint the background, then apply various detailed elements, such as the faces, by decoupage which are printed on a very thin vinyl adhesive. Such elements are reproduced original works of art made specifically for nesting doll design. It is the artist’s magic brush that blends the two forms of artwork together into a unified piece. Finally, each doll is coated in multiple layers of non-toxic water-based lacquer to make a finished piece.
