Hand Carved Russian Ded Moroz Father Frost Santa Ornament Signed 4 1/2"

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. brand: Signed Russian Folk Art (artist signed on base; reads “Borodockoe”) material: Hand Carved & Hand Painted Wood (single-piece carving) pieces: 1 ornament origin: Russia style: Russian Folk Art / Ded Moroz (Father Frost) / Handcrafted Holiday Ornament condition: Excellent Condition size: Approx. 4 1/2" tall
