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 second group of hand crafted wooden Russian Santas are quite different in their carvings and paintings. The master
carver may have a vision for his creation and then he begins to carved, 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. At time, 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.

This third group of colorful, hand painted and hand carved Russian Santas have great variety in size and in the painted
scenes on the cloaks. The smallest figure has an outdoor scene of a Father Frost with the forest animals in the snow.
The Russian Santa on the far right carries a very large and beautifully painted sack close to his shoulder. Two of the stout
Russian Santas have hand painted troikas traveling through the wintry country roads. The very tall Russian Santa on the
left has a painted bag by his side and a young girl 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.
