Standing Santa Claus Figurine with Faux Fur and Gifts

This is a large, standing Santa Claus figurine, likely intended for holiday decoration. The Santa is depicted with a jovial expression, featuring a prominent, full white beard and mustache that appears to be made from a soft, curly, synthetic fiber. His eyes are small and dark. He wears a red pointed hat with a brown faux fur trim and a matching red outfit under a long, dark green coat. The green coat is richly decorated with an embroidered or stitched pattern, possibly depicting swirling vines or flourishes, and is trimmed extensively with a mottled brown faux fur, giving it a luxurious appearance. His red sleeves are visible beneath the green coat, and his red trousers peek out from under the coat's hem. He wears black boots, which are secured to a rectangular, red-covered base, likely made of wood or a similar sturdy material. Santa is laden with gifts and companions. In his left arm, he cradles a medium-sized, light brown plush teddy bear with dark eyes and nose. Over his right shoulder, a sack or bundle of gifts is visible, from which a smaller cream-colored plush teddy bear with a red bow and a few wrapped gift boxes with gold accents emerge. His hands are depicted with pale skin tone, and one hand, visible to the right, appears to be holding onto a golden chain with decorative elements, possibly part of his coat's closure or an accessory. The overall construction suggests a combination of fabrics, plush materials, and possibly ceramic or resin for the face and hands. The faux fur shows some signs of use, primarily a slight ruffling or matting consistent with handling and display. There are no visible major damages or repairs, and the figurine appears to be in good condition, suitable for decorative purposes. The style suggests a traditional, perhaps slightly old-world, interpretation of Santa Claus, popular for holiday decor from the late 20th century to early 21st century.
