The figure of the Moorish King Balthasar is depicted with great attention to detail, with his hand holding myrrh, an aromatic resin that is extracted from the myrrh tree and used to produce an intense, aromatic fragrance that fills the air with a sweet, calming aroma. The figurine is carved from high quality maple wood, worked with great care to create a realistic and detailed figure. The sculpture is then hand-painted in bright, vivid colours, creating an even greater effect of depth and realism. The paint is then highlighted with silver and gold leaf, giving the statuette an even more precious and regal appearance. Gaspar's name is derived from the Greek word 'Galgalath', meaning 'he who arrives on horseback'. Thanks to its handcrafted finish and intrinsic beauty, this statuette of Balthasar will be a perfect addition to your nativity scene.
