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 figure is
very tall and quite different in the scene chosen by the Russian artist. The muted rose, violet and blue
color scheme lends itself to the winter sky and the snowy evening sunset in the Russian countryside.
