Source Description
This kovsh represents an early example of Rückert replicating a section of a well-known painting. In the center of the bowl is the Gamayun, taken from Viktor Vasnetsov's Gamayun, the Prophetic Bird (1897). The Gamayun, like the Sirin and the Alkonost, is a mythological creature with the body of a bird and a woman's head. In this instance, she has very human facial features and beautiful wings graduating in color from dark brown to orange and pale pink. Her perch is a tendril with blue, green and yellow foliage and pinkish white blossoms. The kokoshnik-shaped handle is set with a blue cabochon stone.
