Know before you buy
The Santa figure is designed as a traditional candy container, meaning the piece separates, typically at the waist, to allow you to place small treats or trinkets inside.
While the glitter is applied as a decorative embellishment, some minor shedding is normal with handcrafted paper mache items. We recommend handling the piece gently to maintain the integrity of the finish.
Each container is individually signed and stamped by the artisan. These markings serve as your official confirmation of its origin and collectible status.
Because this is a delicate, hand-painted item, avoid using water or liquid cleaners. Use a soft, dry brush or a gentle puff of air to remove dust from the surface and crevices.
This is a handcrafted collectible intended primarily for display and holiday decor. Due to its delicate paper mache construction and painted finish, it is not recommended as a toy for young children.
