Rustic Vintage Hand Carved Wooden Old World Santa Claus Figurine Folk Art

Standing approximately 12 inches tall, this distinctive Santa is beautifully carved and hand-painted with an expressive face, long textured beard, traditional red clothing, and an especially charming oversized backpack filled with colorful gifts and toys.  The dimensional carving gives this Santa wonderful character from every angle. His rustic, somewhat whimsical appearance makes him feel like a traditional folk-art Christmas piece rather than a mass-produced holiday decoration.  He stands securely on a substantial carved wooden base measuring approximately 6 × 4.
