Wooden Hand Carved Painted Russian Santa Claus Grandfather Frost 5 1/2" .  Amazing hand-painted details.  Green glitter on jacket.  Gold "frosting" I believe on base below jacket. Signed- I can only make out "Made in Russia". Then there are two other symbols or initials.  Look carefully at last picture.   If you know who made this I would love to know.  I spent a lot of time researching this item and could not find one exactly like it.  I do know that he is missing what he was holding in his hand.  The hole does not go all the way through, so it's not a long staff.  Possibly a short one or a tree or bird or something.   Again, if you know, please share. Thank you.
