Showcase 2
Intricately hand carved Russian Santa figures.
These Russian Santas are all handcrafted by a
master carver outside of Sergiev Posad in Russia.
The master carver uses a single piece of linden
wood which is aged for approximately two years.
Look at the flowing beards and beautiful faces on
these two large Russian Santa figures. The staff
that the Russian Santa holds in his hand is also
painted with great detail by the Russian artist.
Both Russian Santas have painting all around; on
the back of the cloak of the Russian Santa the
artist has also painted a beautiful scene.
Russian Santas --paintings on both front and
back of each Santa. Spectacular pieces!
Available for special order.

Each of these Russian Santa figures
that you see is individually hand
crafted in Russia. You will not find
two that are exactly alike; the master
carver works on each form to create a
unique work of art. The Russian
painter then makes a plan to draw a
scene on the cloak of the Russian
Santa. Many artists only paint a
scene on the front of the cloak. Yet
some artists will paint scenes on both
sides of the cloak. The artist works
very carefully and in great detail.
Some artists use glitter or other
materials that look like jewels or
semi-precious stones in their paintings
on the Russian Santa.
