RUSSIAN SANTAS
FOR SALE # 20
FOR SALE # 20
Russian Santa from master carver in Bogorodsky Village outside of Sergiev Posad. It takes great strength to carve these
Santas out of a single piece of aged linden wood. The carver must also have a steady hand when he is creating the features
on the face. This Father Frost has a very beautiful and expressive face with a long, flowing beard. Look at the picture that
the Russian artist has painted on the front of the cloak! You can see the Russian Santa in a long blue robe bending over to
talk to the little girl in the forest. In the background is the snowy forest on a cold winter day. The artist has also painted a
wonderful picture on the back of the cloak. There are magnificent horses pulling a troika through the snow. The girl in the red
coat is the Russian snowmaiden. The artist has also painted a close-up picture on the sack of the Russian Santa face.
The detail of the features is fabulous! There are so many choices for the beautiful hand crafted Russian Santas.
This Santa stands 12 inches tall by 6 inches across the base. Signed by the Russian artist.

All of these beautiful Russian Santas and lacquered boxes were personally chosen by me in Russia this summer. I traveled through the Russian
countryside to meet with artists and carvers to discuss ideas for figures and paintings. The Russian Santa figures are carved entirely by hand by
very skilled and master carvers in Russia. You can judge the quality of the Father Frost figures by looking at the facial features and the paintings.
Some of the Russian Santas have paintings on the back of the cloak or paintings all around the Santa. For other Santas, the most impressive part
is the very finely carved face or the techniques used to paint the floral cloaks where the artist applied a white glaze over the colors to create an
opaque look. The Russian Santa can be tall and thin, or quite broad and massive in size and weight.

14 inch tall beautifully painted with muted colors and very sweet face on this hand
crafted Russian Santa. The Father Frost has a richly decorated fir tree over his
shoulder. The decorations on the fir tree appear to be jewels but are paint dots and
glitter. The ornate pattern of the floral design on the back of the cloak of this marvelous
Russian Santa just adds to the uniqueness of this hand carved and hand painted piece.
