Leonid Zvyagin

As part of the 'The Traditional and the Modern' exhibition at the Kremlin, ten works by master sculptor Leonid Zvyagin are on display. Zvagin is a master in the art of miniature silver sculptures done to a theme. Most of his pieces relect a nostalgic version of Russia but few can doubt the skill needed for such detailed work. One of the pieces on show is an old Russian bird fancier carrying two bird cages with two delicately carved figures inside each of them.
