Matryoshka dollsĀ (Russian:Ā Š¼Š°ŃŃŃŃŠŗŠ°), also known asĀ stacking dolls,Ā nesting dolls,Ā Russian tea dolls, orĀ Russian dolls,Ā are a set of woodenĀ dollsĀ of decreasing size placed one inside another. The nameĀ matryoshka, mainly known as "littleĀ matron", is aĀ diminutiveĀ form ofĀ MatryoshaĀ (ŠŠ°ŃŃŃŃŠ°), in turn a diminutive of the Russian female first nameĀ MatryonaĀ (ŠŠ°ŃŃŃŠ½Š°).Ā
Matryoshka is often seen as a symbol of the feminine side of Russian culture. Matryoshka is associated in Russia with family and fertility. Matryoshka is used as the symbol for the epithet Mother Russia.Ā
Matryoshka dolls are a traditional representation of the mother carrying a child within her and can be seen as a representation of a chain of mothers carrying on the family legacy through the child in their womb. Furthermore, matryoshka dolls are used to illustrate the unity of body, soul, mind, heart, and spirit.
Matryoshkas are also usedĀ metaphorically, as aĀ design paradigm, known as the "matryoshka principle" or "nested doll principle". It denotes a recognizable relationship of "object-within-similar-object" that appears in the design of many other natural and crafted objects.
