One of the towns associated with Saint
Nicholas, who I think may be the central figure in these shots! Held over from
last year, this is a quickie, the lights are up in town now, the crimbo stories
are starting to creep into the news, and, heay, what the hell; let's get
festive.
Bisque figures around 4½ inches, so a bit big for cake decoration, but also not the thing
for a nativity, so I guess fairground fairings with a seasonal twist. Charity
shop purchase and they had a whole box of them, the sort of box traveling
showmen might have under the hoopla counter to replace those won, or damaged in
the trying to win!
As I said, the chap in the middle has more
the look of a Bishop, and while not a medieval one, certainly a historical one,
so I guess it's meant to be St. Nick the Real, rather than the four minion santa's he's flanked by, each of whom has a basket full of gifts and
are obviously St. Nick the Sintered Fictional!
They're nice, mint (I went through the
whole box to make sure I had one of each available and that they were good) and
were not many pennies!
