At left is a picture of Russian nesting dolls. They come in many forms and colors and vary in pricing depending on the quality and detail of work. What is so unique about them is that they stack into each other. In other words, the smaller one fits into the doll that is just a size bigger and the rest follow suit until you only see the largest doll. Hence the nesting concept.
