Product Overview

This Santa is dressed in a regal red fur coat to protect from the harsh cold, and bearing blessings for the New Year and gifts. Vladimir Shestobansky is one of the very best artists in the Sergiev Posad. His painting is beautifully detailed and Santa's faces are always kind. This Santa has two scenes of children at Christmas time with a snow covered village. A solid block of linden wood, hand carved and hand painted, this is a gorgeous tribute to Christmas, and the idea of welcoming the blessings of the New Year into your home. Signed by the artist. Approx. 12.5" tall.

The tradition descends from the Russian Orthodox celebrations of Saint Nicholas, the miracle-worker and secret gift-giver. This Santa is a delightful addition to a warm Christmas setting.
