    "description": "The kovsh is circular in form and its vertical handle is geometric-shaped. A matte cartouche shows \"In the Terem\" by Ivan Klavdii Vasil'evich Lebedev (1852-1916).  A young woman, whose unmarried status is indicated by her single braid of hair, is lounging against a table gazing wistfully towards the light. The surrounding painted filigree enamel decoration includes on each side three cloudberry-like blossoms and scrolling foliage rendered in brown, orange, light blue over an opaque deep blue ground.  Ample use is made of Rückert's characteristic decorative filigree spirals and hatchings. The color scheme of the handle is identical. Among the decorative motifs are leaves, checker board patterns, and triangular shapes.",
