Christmas: The Pre-Reindeer Era

Christmas: The Pre-Reindeer Era was a piece commisioned as a holiday gift.

The automaton depicts Santa making deliveries in that legendary time before he acquired the famous flying reindeer.

Poor Father Christmas must do the flying himself -- arms flapping -- with his bag of toys in tow.
