Symbolic Meaning of Matryoshka
Everyone knows that a Matryoshka is a nesting doll. It is a set of typically seven wooden
dolls of decreasing sizes that all fit inside of each other, one by one. Each stacking doll splits in
half at the midsection and opens to reveal another smaller doll nested within. Each Matryoshka
is handmade, for this reason, it is unique: you cannot find two Matryoshka identical.
Matryoshka is made by different dolls. The biggest doll is called “mother”, the smallest one
is called seed. Originally, the biggest doll represents a strong female matriarch who is the main
symbol of the Russian family. In itself, the doll fits inside little dolls which represent daughters
and sons. For this reason, Matryoshka represents fertility and motherhood.
The Matryoshka is also the symbol of Russia: the big doll represents Russia mother, and
in itself she hosts children, women, men, but also feelings like pain, happiness, joy. It is a
mother who can host all these things. Matryoshka can represent also our life: we are like a big
doll with other dolls inside which represent our stories, relationships, experiences. We are one
person with different experiences. The seed represents our soul which is innocent and it is the
