This is a Pipka Santas  - Limited Edition (#236 of 3600) - "MacNicholas".  It was made in 2008 and is in excellent condition.  Has only been out of its box twice since it was purchased and will be shipped in its original box.  Has the Certificate of Authenticity Registration Card in the box.  The box itself has a few marks on it.  This Russian Santa stands 10 3/4 inches tall (to top of staff) and its base is 5 1/4 inches wide and 4 3/8 inches deep.  This is a very solid piece and weighs approximately 4 pounds, 10.5 ounces.  A great addition to a Christmas collection!
