Santas for sale # 35
These Russian Santas are carved by different master carvers and painted by various Russian artists. Most of the carvers and
artists live in the area of the Sergiev Posad countryside. This region has produced toys, Matryoska dolls and carvings for many
years. There are many artists living here who paint the pictures on the Russian Santa forms. The faces, painted scenes and
the sizes of the wooden Russian Santas all differ but they are all made from real linden wood and each one is hand carved so
that no one Santa is exactly as the other. An authentic master carver will take time to carve the form and will want to create a
piece that is lasting and a work of art. The artist then paints scenes from Russian fairy tales or from the countryside.

The Russian culture abounds with the richness of the fairy tales and fables that adorn the lacquered boxes and hand painted scenes on the Russian
Santas. You can read the fairy tales and then look at the illustrations in the books and find the same scenes painted by the artists of the Russian
miniatures (lacquer boxes or eggs). Popular scenes from the fairy tales or from Russian folklore and village life often are depicted on the front of the
cloak of the Russian Santas. You may find pictures hand painted by the Russian artists showing village people with samovars or ushanka hats and
valenki boots treading through the snows of the harsh Russian winters. Many collectors of the Russian Santa look for certain scenes or types of
paintings on the cloak or sack of the Father Frost.
