This vintage 1980’s American folk art Santa Claus star features a unique stuffed soft-sculpture design lovingly crafted from hand-painted canvas and oilcloth with strong patriotic Americana influences.

Complete with a dimensional hand-sculpted facial insert, expressive facial features, soft curly faux wool hair and a matching beard, as well as subtle hand-stitched detailing throughout, this charming artisan-made doll perfectly captures the rustic warmth, nostalgic character, and aged patina characteristic of classic 1980’s country primitive holiday crafts, making it a truly captivating display piece for collectors of primitive Christmas decor, soft-sculpture holiday figures, and unique handmade patriotic Americana.
