Russian dolls gigognes matriochka

Set of 6 small russian dolls nesting in each other. They date from the 70s and 80s, reported from a trip to czechoslovakia. The two large ones have stamps underneath, but unreadable. What is strange is that they do not all resemble each other, neither in terms of aesthetics and even realization: for example, the three small ones have in addition to pyrograved or sculpted lines, the two larger ones have floral motifs that are not found in the following, that of the middle does not resemble any of the others, etc! They look mismatched but I found them together and they fit very well! Mystery, then! They are in good general condition, the colors are still bright, but they have some defects of use: in the back of the upper part of the larger, two cracks visible on the outside, but always joined, they seem to correspond to the natural rings around a node of wood visible inside, perhaps an original defect therefore. On the penultimate, a lack on the green paint, we see that there is another layer of green paint underneath (i can put a touch of varnish in this place to prevent it from not flakes, let me know after order). Some traces and stains on all the dolls. The largest doll is 13.5 cm tall and about 7 cm larger in diameter. The smallest is 2.4 cm high and about 1.2 cm in diameter. The whole thing weighs 122 g. Some photos were taken with the flash, others without.
