Bittersweet House Folk Art Chalkware German Belsnickle Santa 'Home & Heart' Edition with Children Cat# S610 Click on images for larger view Bring a piece of New England folk art into your home for the holidays with this handcrafted Chalkware Santa. The art of molding plaster of paris into holiday treasures is a centuries-old German tradition. Handcrafted by artist Kathryn Campbell, **S610** is a heartwarming tribute to family and heritage. This Santa features the rare detail of **two children peeking out from his pack**, surrounded by traditional **Pennsylvania Dutch hearts** hand-painted on his crimson coat. Of special note: This piece is cast in chalkware using a wonderful rare antique German chocolate mold. The combination of the children (capturing the gentle spirit of the season) and the hearts (a traditional Fraktur symbol for a happy home and a heart full of joy) makes this a deeply meaningful addition to any collection. Each piece is hand-signed, dated, and numbered.
