The subjects and the artistic features of the toys from the village of Romanovo in the Lipetsk district of the Tambov Province changed as time went by.
The earliest toys date back to the end of the 19th century. The craftsmen are mainly interested in genre compositions. However, the Lipetsk toy does not depict peasants, as the folk painting on wood does. The main subject of the Lipetsk toys is a military man with a lady. The toy is laconic and simple. With the help of holes, folds and oblique incisions, the necessary details of faces, clothes and whimsical headdresses were shown.
