Upcycled Japan Father Christmas Pere Noel Saint Nicholas Mantel Decoration embossed die cut in the printing districtFound in its original box containing 12 pieces may I offer this Made in Japan chenille and clay faced Father Christmas Saint Nicholas figure which has been upcycled. If I am correct, this mantel decoration was made for the French Canadian market as Pere Noel which translates to Father Christmas or Kris Kringle. Yes, you could call the figure a Santa Claus if you wanted to but this fellow is dressed in robes, wears a gold crown and carries a cross.
