As a child I loved to play with these nesting dolls. Putting them inside one after the other. Then taking them out again and line them up in a row. These dolls are originated from Russia but are popular all over the world.

In olden times Russia, the name Matryona or Matriosha is popular among the peasant women. Usually they relate the name to peasant women who are fat and big. It was said that that the dolls were inspired by Japanese dolls and created in 1890 in Moscow.

Though the dolls were created depicting Russian peasant woman, but it can be in any designs. Boys, animals, etc. Just as long they are dolls that consist of parts differing in sizes which you can store in the other bigger sized doll.
