拍品专文

The town of Dorogobuzh, near Smolensk, became part of Russian Empire in 1667. It is known that Kuzma Voevodskii served as a head of Dorogobuzh (voevoda) in 1686.

The design of the Imperial crest with one crown instead of three has been attributed to the work of Polish silversmiths, employed by the Kremlin workshops.  It has been suggested that their works were engraved with this variation of the Imperial crest for a period of twenty years.
