124 Vintage R.P. Gauer 1976 Kneeling Santa As Is

Vintage R. P. Gauer 1976 Kneeling Santa over Baby Jesus In Manger 1976 Kneeling Santa in front of Jesus in a manger. Santa has removed his iconic hat and placed it next to him kneeling at the manger of baby Jesus. 9” x 6” x 8.5” see Photos - small paint chip on back.

In 1976 R.P. Gauer commissioned Rudolph Vargas to sculpt his idea in ceramic to show Santa as respectful to the true meaning of Christmas - the birth of Jesus. This sculpture is the result of that collaboration. The piece has both Gauer and Vargas' names and the date 1976. Other versions of this piece came afterwards. In particular was the licensing to Roman,Inc 16 years later in 1992.
