Description
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.
Detail & Meaning
1) Iconography and Symbolism: Moorish King Balthazar, incense, maple wood, hand painting, silver/gold leaves.
2) Religious meaning: Balthazar, one of the Three Wise Men, represents the offering of incense to Jesus, a symbol of his divinity and prayer. The preciousness of the materials (precious wood, gold/silver) enhances the royalty and importance of the Nativity event.
Story
Baldassarre, one of the Three Wise Men, is traditionally associated with offering incense to the Baby Jesus, a symbol of divinity. His figure, often depicted as a Moorish king, represents the universality of the Christian message and the worship of Christ by all peoples. Although he is not a "saint" in the canonical sense, his veneration is linked to the crucial role in the Epiphany, the manifestation of Jesus to the world. His story is passed down mainly through tradition and the apocryphal Gospels, which enrich his profile with legendary details.
