The magnificent Russian Santa is a piece of hand crafted art that will add an exotic flavor to any holiday display or year round
collection of figures. These Father Frost pieces are painstaking carved by hand with great attention paid to details. The
dwindling number of master carvers in Russia adds to the value of the pieces. Each Russian Santa is unique because of the
fact that it is made entirely by hand, from start to finish. Some of the master carvers begin with a sketch of an idea for a figure,
while others have a feeling for their ideas and just start carving from the single piece of aged linden wood. There is great
demand for the carvings and as a result, the Russian Santa figures can be more difficult to obtain. The artists then create their
ideas on the cloaks of the Father Frost figure and may also include paintings on the sack of the Russian Santa. The Father
Frost figure almost always has a staff in one hand. He may or may not have a sack over his shoulder or by his side. The
Russian Santa also wears a hat or cap that may be flat or peaked. His beard is white and flowing and may even extend
down past his waist!
