Handmade, one of a kind, artisan crafted, folk art Father Christmas figure, highlighting a rustic aesthetic. The clay face Santa has a realistic, hand painted face with weathered pink cheeks and a prominent sculpted nose to evoke an old world charm. His beard is made of raw, unspun curly mohair wool fleece, creating a soft, natural texture framing the lower face. His long, hooded robe is crafted from sea-green wool felt with raw edges and a textured finish. A leather strap is tied around his waist and an old skeleton key dangles from the end. On his back is a felted wool pack filled with faux Christmas greenery. His legs are made of wood dowels that are covered in muslin and his upper torso and arms are stuffed cloth.
Excellent used condition. Father Christmas is made in a primitive rustic fashion and has inherent imperfections related to the design style and handmade nature.
