Pipka Santa hand-painted, cold cast resin, size 5.25"
Zimbabwe Father Christmas wears the typical red suit, but it’s made of light material because Christmas, “Kisimusi”, is celebrated in Zimbabwe in the summer. Sandals adorn Santa’s feet, reminding him of hot, yet beautiful landscape of Zimbabwe. Zimbabwe is a gorgeous country and boasts the majestic Victoria Falls and its magnificent wildlife preserves. Animals in his bag represent these wild animals. A favorite activity at Christmas time is to get a ride in Father Christmas’s donkey-pulled cart. Balloons, ribbons and tied cans decorate the cart and make for merry clatter. Children receive juice and candy from Father Christmas. Cotton is also represented in his bag, being a big part of Zimbabwe’s commerce. |
