      I believe these are called matryoshka dolls or Russian nesting dolls.

      yes matryoshka dolls but newer and I wonder if these were made in Russia like originals . They never had photo's on stomachs . Unique and did you check little one they often came with 7 people inside .
      What is the meaning behind the Russian Matryoshka doll in particular? In Russian, the word matryoshka literally means "little matron" and is also a familiar shortening of the common name Matryona or Matriosha, popular names among the female peasantry of old Russia. The Latin root word of Matryoshka is mater, which means "mother." Motherhood, family and fertility all influence the meaning and significance of the Russian nested doll. Having a large and close knit family is common and even important in traditional Russian culture, with many generations and extended relatives playing an active role in the family dynamic, including grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins. The Matryoshka doll is a symbol of the Russian babushka, a strong female matriarch and a central figure in the Russian family. Tourist dolls .Very Nice !!

      Thanks for the info. There are no more dollies inside what I was sold. I thought the face was a movie star or rock star but with a magnifier I see it is an angel or goddess ? I have poor vision, so I couldn't tell. They were just $7.00 but that may be too much if the came from the $1.00 store! Ha Ha!

      These are possibly Chinese made as they sell these now in a whole range of sizes, shapes and motifs.
      I really really like the fairy tale look of these.
