This nesting doll originates from the Russian female name 'Matryona' and symbolizes fertility, abundance, and family continuity. You can use it to imply that there's more to something than meets the eye.

It's very effective for expressing the hidden charms or complex inner world of a person or story. Try using it to describe someone or something that reveals new aspects the more you get to know them, similar to the expression "peeling an onion."
