Hand-stitched fabric garments—"stiffened" in the manor of traditional Neapolitan creche figures—dress this delicately hand-painted Santa figurine. He carries a bag full of gifts, a pine tree and a crozier (a reference to Saint Nicholas's title of Bishop). There are light signs of age and wear to the fabric garments and he needs assistance (like a stand or other support) to stand alone. (5.25" tall) sc13221b
