SANTAS FOR
SALE #2
Absolutely the most intricate hand carving of a Russian Santa! This Russian Santa is all hand-carved from linden wood and
has just minor color hand-painted on the facial features. A most unusual and unique hand carved Russian Santa for the
collector. 12 inches tall and 5 inches across the base, this Father Frost is carrying a removable bird in his hand. A very
special piece not too widely featured at other websites. Signed by the Russian artist. This type of very intricately carved
wooden Russian Santa is more difficult to create because the master carver must have a solid piece of linden wood that is
totally free of any knots which would make the carving impossible.

You can see two very different examples of Russian Santa on this
page. The Father Frost figure at the top is all natural without any painted
scenes on it. The carver has first chosen to makes intricate carvings all
over the cloak of the Russian Santa in a rich design. Only the face
reflects a small amount of paint to show facial skin tones, eyes and
mouth. The second wooden Father Frost figure on the page has a
wonderful flowing beard with a very expressive carved face. He holds
a staff in one hand and a Father Frost figure with children in the snow is
painted on the front of the cloak. The back of the cloak is painted a bright
red with a patterned design the artist has created. Price: $899.

Each Russian Santa reflects many weeks or months of work by both the master carver and the artist. The master
carver creates unfinished forms that he then sells to the artist. It is very rare that the carver would paint his own forms.
Usually the master carvers are so busy with orders that the wait time for a completed figure may be several months or
more. After the artist buys the forms, the work then begins to decide which color scheme to use, what scenes to paint
on the cloak and then what expression to give to the face. The artist can give even greater interpretation to the hand
carved wooden Russian Santa with the choice of the scenes on the cloak. The artist can choose scenes from Russian
fairy tales or folklore and depict village life in the Russian countryside. Other choices the artist can make include pictures
of Father Frost with the snow maiden in the wintry forest. You can also see scenes of the snow queen in her majestic
sleigh in the air above the villagers' houses. Each Russian Santa is truly a work of art!
