Russian nesting doll (stacking doll) or Matryoshka doll is a set of dolls decreasing in sizes placed one inside another. The word “mah-tr-o-sh-kah” is related to the old Russian word mat, meaning “mother“.

Here, John is the biggest with Ringo the smallest. A really cute set.

I would say the set is around 15 - 20 years old. Figures have slight wear in places consistent with age (see scans). I've not seen a set like this for years and I only have 1 set in so once gone I don't know when I can get again.
