The iconic figure of Balthazar, the Moorish King, brings the exoticism and majesty of the Val Gardena tradition to your nativity scene. This sculpture captures the essence of royalty and devotion through a solemn pose and a serene expression, with his gaze turned in humble adoration.
Every detail is rendered with sublime precision: from the rich drapery of the two-tone mantle, with its terracotta-colored and ochre-yellow sections, edged with silver finishes that enhance its movement, to the turban surmounted by a three-pointed golden crown. The dominant colors, such as ochre yellow and dark brown for the skin, are applied by hand with polychrome technique, enriched with golden accents that shine on the sacred offering he holds in his hand: the golden chalice containing the incense.
Crafted according to the ancient art of Val Gardena carving, this statuette is sculpted from precious maple wood, available in different finishes to suit your style: hand-painted (C), natural (N) which highlights the grain, or with a three-shade brown finish (3G).
