Russian Santa
Item # 10030
Throughout the ages, Santas had different names, like St Nicholas, Kris Kringle and Father Christmas. He is known as Dedushka Moroz, Grandfather Frost, in Russia.

With the advent of postcards and Christmas cards, artists began portraying Santa in more elaborate clothes, like this Old Russian Father Christmas. Some twenty years ago, a friend sent me a card with an old fashioned Santa on it; a reproduction from one of those old postcards. The Santa was beautiful, dressed in a brilliant coat and elaborate detail. It inspired me to paint a Santa on wood and give it to my mother for Christmas. Retirement Date December 9, 2004!
