This is a wonderful hand carved skiing Santa figure. Made in Germany by Ihr Bjorn Kohler, the little piece measures about 4" long, 2" wide and 3.5" high. In the original box with the original brochure that came with it. I'm guessing it was made in the early 2000's. The box is written in German and reads: Kunsthandwerk, Einfach Schones aus dem Erzgebirge, and its Art.-Nr.:6050. The brochure is full of other designs so you could start a collection of these figures, if you don't already have one! It would be a great gift for the skiier in your life!
