Russian Santas! Here is a group photo showing the different sizes and carvings that are available for this wonderful and
unique hand crafted collector's item. The very tall and large Russian Santa with the painted sack hoisted over his shoulder
has a beautifully hand painted scene of the Russian countryside in the winter. It is very traditional in nature, with the troikas
and the church domes and spires in the background. The blended blue colors of the sky depict a stormy day on its way with
more snow ready to fall down on the country roads. The Russian Santa on the far right has all muted blue tones for the color
scheme with a very finely detailed painting of a winter's eve journey through the woods to travel back home after a day's
work. You can sense how very still and cold it must be on that ride back to the warmly heated home of the person inside the
horse-drawn sled. Each Father Frost figure has been masterfully carved by hand and the faces are exceptionally beautiful
and realistic in their features and skin tones.

Look at the marvelous white and flowing beards of these Russian Santas! Each figure is carved very differently and the
expressions on the faces are merry and full of warmth.

This hand crafted wooden Russian Santa is quite different in the carving
and paintings. The master carver may have a vision for his creation and
then he begins to carve, without any sketches or prior drawings, and the
vision becomes a creation in wood. The Russian artist then takes over
and begins the process of making the Russian Santa come alive through
the facial expressions and hand painted scenes of Russian fairy tales or
scenes of the countryside. Each Father Frost figure may be holding a
staff in his hand or a lantern. Perhaps the Russian Santa may have his
large sack of toys poised on his shoulder or by his side. Most of the
figures have twinkling blue eyes, although you may at times find a figure
with brown eyes.

The colorful, hand painted and hand carved Russian Santas have great variety in size and in the painted scenes on the cloaks. Some of the
carved figures may have an outdoor scene of a Father Frost with the forest animals in the snow. The Russian Santa could also carry a very
large and beautifully painted sack close to his shoulder. Stout Russian Santas could also be depicted with hand painted troikas traveling through
the wintry country roads. The Russian Santa can also be shown with a painted bag by his side and a young girl, the snow queen, wistfully
gazing out at the cold winter day. A collector of the Russian Santa figures may want to include various types of the Father Frost carvings,
ranging from small to very tall and skinny to stout and broad.

There are many and varied handicrafts produced by hand by Russian artisans in the toy making region around Sergiev Posad and in the
village of Bogorodsky. These master carvers and artists preserve the hand-crafted methods from many years ago and maintain the
culturally significant art works that are collector's items.
The Russian Santa is an especially beloved piece of art work. These figures are difficult to obtain and the master carvers do not create
them in great numbers because they are individually designed and carved. One figure can take many weeks or months to complete. Also,
the linden wood used for the carving must be properly aged at least two years. So there are many factors that must go into this process of
creating the Russian Santa.
