Wonderful views of hand carved, hand painted wooden Russian Santa with many fine details and features
This amazing wooden Russian Santa is entirely carved by hand and painted by hand in Russia, in Sergiev Posad.  The artist
chooses the blank forms from the master carver and then decides which theme or pictures to paint on the form.  The artist has
created a huge Father Frost in the wintry landscape of the Russian countryside.  The artist then puts a very light matte finish
over the paintings which further enhances their beauty.  This piece is a real work of art and has so many paintings on it that you
can look at it for quite a while!   Each piece of solid linden wood is artfully hand crafted into these beautiful Russian Santas.
