Signed buy Vintage style 1997 Santa Figurine Hand Painted Plaster Cast from Private Collection of Wood Carved and Painted Santas

Hand Painted Signed 1997 Santa Claus cast from Original Wood Carving. Peter Simonello, the wood carving artist, has been carving one Santa every year as a gift to his wife. The first Santa was created in 1997 and the final Santa was created in 2020. The artist, died earlier this year so there will not be any new Santas created. Before his sudden death in July he decided to make rubber molds of his Santa Collection. It was after the casting was completed that he died. The entire collection of Plaster cast and painted Santas from 1997 to 2020 is now available. The signed hand painted Santas are finished with a vintage look. Once the molds are worn out there will be no more casts made. The Santas are now in the possession of the artists children and they have no intentions of selling any of the originals.
