"This exquisitely detailed Russian Santa Carving features a painting of a beautiful young girl with striking blue eyes holding a tiny glittering Christmas Tree in one hand as she clings to her adorable white and orange striped cat. She waits patiently at the end of her snow-covered fence for Santa to arrive. On the back of SantaÕs coat is a scene of children readying their home for the holiday season. They help each other decorate the front door of their cozy log home. Two young girls work on trimming an evergreen tree beside their home with carefully crafted Christmas ornaments. The children in the winter scenes are dressed in traditional winter Russian attire of long coats and scarves wrapped loosely over their heads. Their wide eyes and joyful expressions show their excitement for the days to come. The Santa carving toy bag has traditional flowers of blue and gold tones, accented with white and silver filigree. The face of this carved Santa gives a warm, gentle and genuine expression of the hope and happiness for the upcoming holiday season. A beautiful Christmas heirloom, one of a kind, hand carved and meticulously painted Santa by Nadezdina."
