Product Overview
Santa is dressed in his traditional red Christmas coat with white frosted fur trim and has a beautiful scene of two children in pure excitement discovering their bag of Christmas treasures in a snowy landscape. Santa's coat and toybag are painted in Christmas colors of red, green and white using a floral pattern and painting technique which is quite rare and time consuming. The artist uses multiple (very thin) layers of paint to create extreme depth, almost like a veil or frost, to soften and give multiple tones.
This Russian Santa is completely hand carved from solid linden wood. Hand painted and signed by the artist Vladimir Shestobansky. Measures approximately 14" tall.
