Vintage Resin Santa Claus Christmas Ornament

This is a small, hand-painted Christmas ornament depicting a classic 'Old World' style Santa Claus, likely made of cast resin or a similar hard composite material. The figure is approximately 3 to 4 inches in height and shows Santa in a walking pose, carrying a large brown sack over his left shoulder and holding a small green evergreen sprig in his right arm. He is dressed in a traditional deep red coat with off-white trim, black boots, and a matching red hat. The paint application is textured, suggesting a folk-art aesthetic, with a deliberate dark wash applied to the crevices to create a 'patinated' or aged look. The craftsmanship includes molded details for his white beard, expressive facial features, and the folds in his garments. A thin gold-colored metallic string is attached to a small eyelet on the figure's back for hanging. Regarding condition, there are visible signs of wear consistent with age, specifically paint loss on the tip of the hat, the beard, and the hands, revealing the underlying off-white material. There is also some minor scuffing on the black boots. Based on the style and material, it likely dates to the late 20th century (1980s or 1990s), designed to mimic an antique Victorian aesthetic.
