Vintage-Style Ice Skating Santa Claus Figural Ornament

This item is a decorative Christmas tree ornament depicting a jubilant Santa Claus ice skating. The figure is constructed from a cast resin or cold-cast plastic material, expertly molded to simulate the textures of fabric and fur. Santa is dressed in a traditional deep crimson suit with off-white, textured trim along the cuffs and hem, which shows a slight yellowish patina consistent with aged resin. He is shown carrying a brown basket filled with toys and holly. A distinctive design feature of this ornament is the kinetic component: the legs are attached to the torso by coiled metal springs, allowing them to bobble. The legs terminate in brown boots attached to silver-painted ice skates. The ornament includes a gold-colored hanging cord attached to the top of Santa's hat. In terms of condition, the piece shows minor surface dust in the recessed areas of the 'fur' trim but no visible chips, cracks, or significant paint loss. The style suggests a late 20th-century production, likely between 1990 and 2005, emulating folk-art aesthetics. The paint application is detailed but typical of mass-produced collectible ornaments from that era, such as those found in gift boutiques or high-end department stores.
