Miter ~ hat

The story is that St. Nicholas over heard a farmer talking to his daughters. They had no dowry for the girls to wed. St. Nicholas came back that evening and tossed gold coins into the chimney and they fell into the girls stockings which were hanging by the fireplace to dry. With the gold, the daughters were able to wed.
He carries a goose feather tree and a bag of vintage, gold mercury glass beads.
He has a linen shirt and then a cotton surplice over top. Cream flannel, slightly aged slacks. The paper mache boots are made in Germany.
His beard is white mohair.
