Melchior was a wise man who was said to be a king in his own right, who brought a gift of gold, signifying the importance of the birth of Jesus for the world. He was represented as the eldest of the three wise men and was often depicted wearing a golden crown or robe. His figure was carved and painted by hand to represent his regal stature and his name is derived from the Hebrew 'Melekh' meaning 'king'. The Melchior statuette is a unique work of art, made entirely by hand by the skilled artisans of Val Gardena in the Italian Alps. The figure of Melchior is depicted with great attention to detail, with a golden crown on his robes and a wise and peaceful expression on his face. 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. Thanks to its handcrafted finish and intrinsic beauty, this Melchior figurine will be a perfect addition to your Christmas crib, creating an atmosphere of authenticity and devotion during the festive season.
