Each scene was worked from the inside of the block, so the image seems to float in the clear material. These pieces are now sought after by collectors of Soviet decorative art and by anyone who enjoys retro desk and shelf decor. A winter landscape like this one, with its lodge by a frozen lake, brings a quiet, nostalgic mood to a bookcase, a desk or a display cabinet, and it pairs well with other Soviet-era souvenirs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eShipping\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eCarefully packed and shipped worldwide from Ukraine with a tracking number.
