Carved Santas Doll 7pc./8"

This wonder of a doll features carved accents - a uniquely detailed set of 7 rosy-cheeked Santas. Santa's cheerful red suit is carved to resemble lushly quilted fabric, and has golden embellishments painted on. His snowy white beard is perfectly chiseled - the craftsmanship in this doll will delight you!

Production Techniques: Hand Painting. This doll was carved in the Upper Volga region, and then delivered to the Golden Cockerel workshop in St. Petersburg, Russia. Our artists painstakingly hand paint every detail, beginning with backgrounds and moving to the finer elements that require a brush of very select Siberian squirrel hair. It is daunting to think of the time and talent invested in each of the nesting pieces! Finally we baptize each doll in multiple layers of non-toxic water-based lacquer to make a marvelous matryoshka that will delight children and collectors. The bottom of the largest doll gets stamped with Golden Cockerel’s “Made in Russia” mark of quality, initialed by the artist, and dated like a true collectible. We can only hope you will give it a good home.
