A long, flyaway beard adds dramatic character to this vintage "Father Christmas" bishop—who, like the original Saint Nicholas, wore a mitre and carried a crozier. Hand-stitched garments adorn this delicately hand-painted figure. On his back, a sack of apples and oranges for good little children. A golden string makes it easy to hang him on a Christmas tree. Made by Gladys Boalt and dated 1991. He will need assistance (like a stand or other supportive device) in order to stand independently. (8" x 4.5") sc13222c
