Matryoshka dolls (Russian: матрёшка, romanized: matryoshka), also known as stacking dolls, nesting dolls, Russian tea dolls, or Russian dolls, are a set of wooden dolls of decreasing size placed one inside another. The name Matryoshka is a diminutive form of Matryosha (Матрёша), in turn a hypocorism of the Russian female first name Matryona (Матрёна). A set of matryoshkas consists of a wooden figure, which separates at the middle, top from bottom, to reveal a smaller figure of the same sort inside, which has, in turn, another figure inside of it, and so on.
