[Kazimiera]

Khokhloma or Khokhloma painting (Хохлома, Хохломская роспись) is the name of a Russian wood painting handicraft style and national ornament, known for its vivid flower patterns, red and gold colors over a black background, and the effect it has when applied to wooden tableware or furniture, making it look heavier and metal-like.
