SANTAS FOR
SALE#7
SALE#7
This very large and heavy hand carved, hand painted Russian
Santa is 15 inches tall and 8 inches in diameter across the base.
The Russian Santa is all carved by hand and also hand painted by
Russian artists. What a unique, finely hand painted and hand carved
Santa or Father Frost from Russia! The painting on the front of the
Russian Santa has been painted by hand to depict the Russian
countryside.
The Russian Santa's wide and flowing beard occupies at least one
third of the carving! The ridges and detailed carving of the beard
make it an outstanding feature. He has a very realistic face with
twinkling blue eyes. The painting on the front of the Father Frost is
absolutely enchanting. Look closely and you will see a bear riding in
an open sleigh across the snow-covered countryside. The sleigh is
pulled by three prancing horses. You can see the villagers outdoors
by their houses watching the bear merrily glide by. One of the most
outstanding features of this painting is the beautifully colored red
and blue sky at dusk. The trees in the background have lost their
leaves and just show snow lingering on the bare branches. The
back of the Santa's cloak is painted red and gold with a detailed
design. Signed by the Russian artist. (Price: $1199.) 1 available

The Russian Santas pictured on this page are carved entirely by hand by a master carver who first designs the Santa and
then painstakingly carves the form out of a single piece of aged linden wood. This linden wood is impervious to cracking and
warping and the carved wooden Russian Santas should be valuable additions to any collection. The Russian Santa
pictured at the top of the page is really massive in size and weight. The very popular painted scene of the laughing bear in
the troika has a wonderfully depicted winter night sky with the reds and deep blues of the sunset. The second Father Frost
shown on this page is one of the most beautiful figures that I have seen! The Russian artist has carefully painted a scene in
the snowy village with a red cloaked Father Frost and children. On the front side of this second Santa, there is a hand
painted picture of a girl looking out the window. Each Russian Santa is signed by the artist.

This fabulous solid wooden piece is all hand crafted by Russian artisans. First, the carver has skillfully used special tools
to hone the facial features and the details of the cloak. The artist has then taken over and created extremely detailed and
rich paintings of the Father Frost and children on a winter's day. This Russian Santa stands a tall 14 inches and has
paintings all around the cloak. In addition, this Santa Claus has a basket filled with toys (removable) on his back and a hand
painted scene of two Russian children on the basket. This is truly a huge and beautiful piece! The hand painted scenes
can stand alone as a work of art.
