Sculptural Figure "Princess Elisaveta"

Description Sculptural Figure "Princess Elisaveta"

The daughters of Yaroslav the Wise became European princesses who shaped the course of European life in every aspect—from daily traditions to state affairs. Freedom and dignity were the principles they lived by. Strong-willed and resilient, they reshaped laws, led nations, and remained true Women—free-spirited and proud of their heritage. We are not entering Europe; we are returning to it.

Elisaveta Yaroslavna, the eldest daughter of Yaroslav the Wise, was the wife of Harald III Hardrada, the King of Norway. Harald fell in love with Elisaveta during his first visit to Kyiv. As a young girl, Elisaveta loved to read, and Harald dedicated romantic poems to her. Known as the beautiful and educated Ellisiv, she became a significant figure in Scandinavian history. She was the mother of two daughters, Maria and Ingegerd, the latter of whom became the queen consort of Denmark.

This figure is crafted using a proprietary technique that combines paper, sawdust, water, buckwheat husks, and natural paste.

Each figurine is hand-molded, baked at high temperatures, sanded, and meticulously painted with acrylic paints to replicate vintage designs. The process ensures the figures are durable and resistant to mechanical damage. Small details are carefully crafted from cotton wool and decorated with fabric appliqués, just as it was done a century ago. These eco-friendly and long-lasting figurines are safe for children and pets, as they are unbreakable.
