This hand-carved, hand-painted Russian Santa is Ded Moroz (Father Frost)—the traditional gift-bringer for Russian New Year celebrations. Carved from a single piece of wood and painted in bright folk-art colors, he features a long white beard, a staff that resembles a little evergreen tree, and a full-length coat and hat (very different from the Western short-jacket Santa). Signed by the artist on the underside, this is a wonderful collectible ornament for a folk-art themed tree or holiday display.
