Santas for sale #30
This spectacular 13 X 5 inch tall hand carved, hand painted wooden Russian Santa is carrying a bird in one hand and a
decorated staff in the other hand. The master carver has created a very beautiful face and long beard on the Father Frost
figure. The hat is slightly tipped to one side and painted with colorful details. The Russian artist has used the most beautiful
colors for the sunset with a medley of muted pinks and blues blended together with the falling snowflakes. The winter scene
shows a troika with a laughing bear inside going through the countryside. You can see the village and a snowman on the back
of the cloak. The paintings go all around the Santa in a circular pattern so that it is one continuous scene. This Russian Santa
would look very majestic in a holiday centerpiece on a table or other piece of furniture. Signed by the Russian artist.

The hand carved, hand painted wooden Russian Santas and matryoska nesting dolls are from Sergiev Posad, a city outside of Moscow.
Sergiev Posad is famous for its monasteries and wood carvers and is part of the Golden Ring towns. Most of the wooden children's
toys, carved Father Frost figures and matroyska dolls are made and painted here. Sergiev Posad attracts religious pilgrims as well as
tourists to its beautiful monasteries. The first matryoska nesting doll was said to have originated in Sergiv Posad. Many painters of the
matryoska dolls and the Russian Santa live in Sergiev Posad and its surroundings. The Russian artists work closely with the master
carvers. They may specify certain facial expression to be carved, or formations of the figure. Many of the Russian artists also like to
have the front of the cloak flat and with a large space for the painting. It can be difficult to create a circular painting all around the cloak
when the wooden form that the carver had made allows the artist to do so. Then, the artist must continue the scene in its entirety, rather
than painting two discrete scenes on the front and back of the cloak. Whenever possible, it is much more highly desirable to have
paintings on both sides of the cloak. This will be more costly, but then you can view the artwork from all possible angles on the RUSSIAN
SANTAS.
