Artistic features and detailing
The sculptural composition impresses with its fine detailing. The boy is dressed in a traditional white retinue, girded with a bright orange belt, and high Cossack boots. The girl bowed her head in a shy gesture; she is wearing a detailed embroidered shirt with a floral ornament, a plakhta with a geometric pattern, and red shoes. In the girl's hand is a bright orange element (possibly a ribbon element or a traditional treat). The faces of the characters are hand-painted with jewelry precision, conveying lively and sincere emotions.

Authenticity and brand
On the bottom of the statuette there is an original factory mark in green - the PZHK corporate curl. The green color of the marking traditionally indicated the quality of the product (usually the 2nd grade according to the Soviet classification, which has absolutely no effect on the modern artistic and collectible value of the item).
