St. Nicholas

His eyes how they twinkled, his dimples how merry!

His checks were likes roses, his nose like a cherry!

His droll little mouth was drawn up like a bow,

and the beard of his chin was as white as the snow;

St. Nicholas is a picturesque image of the Santa we all know and love.  He is dressed in a deep red velvet coat and hat with faux fur detailing, wool pants and a linen shirt.  His face is carved with intricate details and painted with light washes to allow the beauty of the wood to show through.  He is topped off with a toy sack filled with gifts.
