Santa Holding a Christmas Tree Wood Carving 8"

Father Frost comes bearing a small Christmas tree in in hand, and his staff in the other. His wine red robe is painted with snowflakes all around. Glitter ornaments are added to the tree and give fire to his staff. Carved of linden wood, then hand painted in traditional Russian fashion, the pleasant fellow would be a pleasure to meet on a forest walk. Signed by the artist on the bottom.
