I found this beautiful hand carved Russian santa the other day and absolutely love the handmade detail and bright colors.
A portly man with a white beard, in a classic red and white fur-lined robe and stocking cap make the identity of Old Saint Nick in this table top holiday decoration unmistakable. But add in the fact that he's holding a whimsical choo choo train and is made of solid wood, and painted with all the bright colors of Christmas, and now you've got something special to give as a gift this year.
Anyone who appreciates woodworking or hand crafted items would love this as you can see and appreciate the detail in the craftsmanship all the way down to the quality and detail in the paint. These also make for a very special and memorable gift for family or friends that enjoy collecting pieces showcasing this particular type of eastern European art form that uses hand carved wood items painted with a combination of watercolor, acrylic, and oil.
The best part about these figurines is that they are all individually made and numbered, so these really are going to be a treasured and unique gift for anyone who receives it.
