Folk Art Resin Santa Claus Figurine with Golden Pear

This is a hand-painted decorative figurine of Santa Claus, likely part of a contemporary seasonal collection such as those by Jim Shore or Department 56, though no brand mark is immediately visible in the image. The figure stands approximately 8 to 10 inches tall and is constructed from cast resin, meticulously shaped to mimic the look of hand-carved wood. Santa is depicted in a traditional red robe with silver-painted trim on the hat, collar, and cuffs. His full white beard features deep linear texturing to simulate hair. He holds a prominent golden pear with a red blush and green leaves, symbolizing harvest or the 'Partridge in a Pear Tree' motif. A gold tassel hangs from his hat's fur trim, and a gold-hilted sword or staff is tucked under his left arm. The base is flared, providing stability. Condition-wise, the piece appears in good vintage shape with no major cracks or structural damage visible; however, there is noticeable paint wear and minor scuffing on the silver trim and the edges of the red robe, indicating some age or past display use. The overall aesthetic leans toward European folk art or 'Old World' Santa styles typical of holiday decor produced within the last 20-30 years.
