Matrioshka a primitive wooden fractal

Hello! Welcome to another post of the blog.
Today we will talk about the Russian dolls, that nice souvenir that can be found everywhere in the tourist areas of Moscow and St. Petersburg and for sure in other Russian cities.

They are made of wood and are hand-painted. On their surface we can see pretty farmers, and some even show historical or popular characters drawn. They have 5 or more iterations, the smallest being the only one inside can not be divided.
Relatively speaking, the formula is reminiscent of a fractal. Anyway , each doll is an object apart, however in fractals each repetition is “stuck” within himself . More “fractal”-ish could be to see all the dolls together through X-ray.
Think about it, a typical image for a Mandelbrot set has more than 200 iterations!

The symbolism behind I think that talks about the fertility of a mother ( Матр means mother in Russian) , who gives birth to a daughter who in turn gives birth to another daughter, and so on generation after generation. In a certain way we as humans also are fractals of our ancestors, not exact copies , of course , nor agree on the same space and time , but a few generations do share. Let’s say that we are decoupled fractals of our ancestors in spacetime.
See you!
