Ancient Russian Sculpture

Ancient Russian sculptures were mostly made in the form of decorative wood carving and were quite polychromatic. Sculptures were mainly images of saints, with the most attention paid to the faces while the figures were covered under the dresses and thus looked flat.

I believe that ancient Russian sculptures were focused on religion because they show devotion.
