Russia: Dymkovo dolls

Dymkovo toys, also known as the Vyatka toys or Kirov toys are moulded painted clay figures of people and animals (sometimes in the form of a pennywhistle). It is one of the old Russian folk art handicrafts, which still exists in a village of Dymkovo near Kirov (former Vyatka). Traditionally, the Dymkovo toys are made by women.

Stamps: Russian Kremlins from 2009 - Ryazan Kremlin and Novgorod Kremlin.

 Thank You very much Olga for this beautiful postcard!
