classic Russian fairy tales or scenes of the Russian countryside and villages. Troikas can be seen gently coasting
through the snow-covered roads on a bitter cold winter day in Russia, or you can also see scenes of village life or
cathdrals with the onion domes. Each Russian Santa is an expression of the creative talents of the master carver and

This very large and impressive wooden hand carved Russian Santa stands 15 1/2 inches tall and holds this very large and
ornately decorated samovar in his hand. The history of the samovar goes back centuries in Russia. It was originally fired
by coal to heat the water for tea so that it would stay warm all day long. The samovars could be made of silver or other
metals and were richly decorated. You can still buy samovars today and also see them in use in Russia. The hand painted
scenes by the Russian artist on the front and back of the cloak show a glimpse of village life in the harsh winters of
Russia. The people are keeping warm through the use of their samovars with the steaming tea. They are bundled up in
coats and hats lined with fur.
