Duncan Royale created a collection of Santas depicting the history of Santa and published a book by the same title History of Santa from 2000 BC to the 20th Century. Max Duncan is the artist behind the concept and design of each Santa. Sculpted in 1983, each has a heavy feel and is beautifully painted for a rich vintage look. Each is numbered and stamped on the base.

Excerpt from the History of Santa book (the complete story will be included with the figurine)

Mongols were warriors and nomads but always held their year-end celebration of Herdsmen's Day. Locals . . . (those touched by the Mongols) may have been influenced by these year-end celebrations. One Chinese God, Tsai Sen Yeh, appears at the end of the year and gives money gifts to the children. He carries the traditional sack on his back and is a favorite of the children as he makes his rounds.
