Matryoshka doll

A Matryoshka doll, often referred to as a Russian nesting doll, is a set of wooden dolls of decreasing size that fit one inside the other. The outermost doll is typically painted to represent a woman in traditional Russian attire, and as you open the doll, you find smaller dolls inside, each decorated in a similar style. These dolls are a popular symbol of Russian culture and craftsmanship, often associated with themes of motherhood and fertility.
