Vintage Santa Sleigh and Reindeer Christmas Ornament/Figurine

This item is a vintage Christmas ornament or figurine depicting Santa Claus in his sleigh, pulled by two reindeer. The overall construction appears to be molded plastic or a lightweight composite material, likely hand-painted. Santa Claus is seated in a green sleigh with red runners and decorative scrolling, possibly a holly or leaf motif painted in red on the green body of the sleigh. He is wearing a traditional red suit with white fur trim and a matching hat, with a prominent white beard. A bag with what looks like white fluffy material, possibly representing presents or the sack itself, is situated behind him in the sleigh. The two reindeer are intricately detailed with brown bodies, white muzzles, and black hooves. They each have small antlers. A red and green blanket or saddle is painted across their backs, and red trim is visible on their harnesses. The reindeer are connected to each other and to the sleigh by thin, gold-colored string, simulating reins. The figures are designed to stand upright on flat surfaces, suggesting it could be a tabletop decoration, or possibly hung as an ornament, though no visible hanging mechanism is apparent in the image. Given the '150 years old' context, if accurate, this piece would predate common plastic molding techniques. This suggests it could be carved wood, papier-mâché, or composition material, with a significant amount of hand-painting. Minimal wear is visible from the image, indicating good preservation for its purported age, with some slight paint chipping possible but not distinctly clear. The craftsmanship, while appearing somewhat whimsical, shows careful detail in the painting and assembly.
