Description from the seller

King Balthasar with myrrh, for Christmas scene – wood – Val Gardena, South Tyrol

Professionally shipped – more than 850 five-star reviews worldwide.

This woodcarving depicts King Balthasar, shown as one of the Three Wise Men from the East. He holds a vessel of myrrh in his hands, a traditional attribute within the iconography of the Three Kings. The figure is entirely carved from wood and left unpainted, allowing the quality of the carving, the folds of the garment, and the gentle facial expression to stand out. The figurine was made in Val Gardena, a region with an ancient tradition of religious woodcarving, and aligns with nativity groups in natural wood finishes.

Height approximately 12 cm; in good condition with slight signs of use consistent with age and material.

Please look at the photos carefully, they are part of the description.

Shipped with track & trace.
