A beautifully stylized scene of Ukrainian folk life, this vintage porcelain figurine from the renowned Polonne factory captures a tender moment: a seated musician strums a bandura-like instrument while a woman in a flowing red dress and headscarf dances beside him, one hand playfully brushing her hair back.
Crafted in the Ukrainian SSR during the Soviet era, the piece reflects the mid-century fascination with national folklore, music, and rural beauty. Rich in hand-painted details — including traditional embroidery motifs and touches of gold, it’s a striking decorative object and a charming window into Slavic cultural heritage.
