Details

Beloved around the world, Santa Claus is also present in West Africa, where some adults dress as Father Christmas, or "Papa Bronya." This is especially popular at events and parties, as Santa is the one who hands out gifts. Ali Mohammed depicts the benevolent character as a sculpture, carved by hand of sese wood with applications of clay to give it an aged look.

"A beautiful addition to our collection"

The photo drew my wife and I in. We collect unique Santa s and were looking for an Asian Santa — still an if anyone has a suggestion — when we saw Ali s ‘Father Christmas. We bought it and hoped the piece would be as special as the photo promised . It was. It s a beautiful piece that will remain in our family forever. Love it!
