Vintage German Erzgebirge Wood Putz MINIATURE Santa Sleigh Reindeer Early 20th C

  
Vintage carved and painted wooden Santa sleigh with reindeer, made in Germany. This miniature figure measures approximately 4 inches long and is a classic Erzgebirge Putz-style Christmas decoration, intended for tabletop or village displays. Features Santa driving a yellow sleigh pulled by a pair of blue reindeer. There is a white sack in the sled. Carved from wood and finished in bright traditional colors, the sleigh is pulled by reindeer with a string harness. The bottom is marked "Germany" and there is a blue floral motif on the side. Based on construction, materials, and style, this piece likely dates to the early-mid 20th century. Condition: Very good vintage condition with age-appropriate paint wear. Observed flaws: There are remnants of another object that was once in the sled but is missing now and both reindeer are missing their antlers, which is common for these pieces.
