Cast Resin Wood-Spirit Style Santa Figurine

This decorative figurine is inspired by the traditional folk art of 'wood-spirit' carving, likely cast in a cold-cast resin or polymer material to simulate a hand-carved wood grain. The piece features a central Santa Claus face integrated into a vertical tree trunk or log structure. The Santa has a long, flowing cream-colored beard, rosy cheeks, and detailed eyes that appear to be inset or finely painted to give a realistic expression. Surrounding the face are several woodland-themed accents: a squirrel perched on the top left, a red cardinal on a branch to the right, and a sprig of green holly with red berries at the top center. The overall texture is deeply grooved to mimic weathered bark, with a dark brown finish contrasting against the lighter, bone-colored face and beard. The construction is solid and heavy, indicative of a mass-produced holiday collectible from the late 20th or early 21st century. The condition appears excellent with no visible chips or cracks, and the paint application is consistent with high-quality commercial giftware. No visible maker's marks are present in the frontal view.
