This hand carved, hand painted wooden Russian Santa has a very intricately painted picture on the front of the
cloak. The artist painted a detailed scene of a young girl wistfully gazing out the window on a winter day from the
warmth of her house in the village. The artist then chose to also illustrate the back of the cloak of the Russian
Santa. The beautifully muted colors of the winter sky depict a village scene and the cathedrals and domes in the
background. This Russian Santa is wonderfully painted all around and reflects a great deal of worksmanship by
both the artist and the carver.

Russian wooden hand made toys carved out of real wood! These toys have been made in this traditional manner for
hundreds of years for the entertainment of children and adults alike. In the village of Bogorodsky, the woodcarvers still
create these whimsical toys which can appear mechanical through the use of the string and the weighted ball. The user
simply moves the toy in a circular motion which activates the weighted ball to move the parts of the toy so that it performs
an action such as beating drums, etc. The seal of authenticity is on the bottom of the toy.

The Russian Santa pictured here is all carved by hand by one of the master carvers in the Sergiev Posad area where all the
woodcarvers and toymakers live and work. Notice the details in the grooved beard and the features of the face on this
Russian Santa. The face is lightly painted to show the natural linden wood beneath. The cloak of this Russian Santa has so
many painted scenes that it covers the entire robe, front and back. It is two large scenes painted around the Father Frost
figure.

More cultural facts about Russia: on the holidays of Christmas and New Years, of which there are actually two of each (yes, two dates for each
holiday!), the Russians eat many pickled vegetables that may come from their own gardens or they may have done the pickling themselves from market
vegetables. Many Russian spend the holidays at home together with friends and family, gathered around a table full of wonderful foods and drinks for a
simple or sumptuous feast!
