Description
The sculpture is of King Melchior offering the gift of gold. It is a representation of the wise King Melchior, considered the oldest wise king. He is shown kneeling, offering the most precious gift of gold to symbolise his wisdom and generosity. The sculpture was carved from a single piece of maple wood and then hand-painted to bring out the details of the figure. The intricate details of the sculpture are a testimony to the artist's skill and mastery. Melchior was one of the three wise men (also known as the Three Kings or Magi) who visited the baby Jesus in Bethlehem. He is believed to have been a Persian or Arab scholar from the Middle East and was one of the first to recognise Jesus as the King of kings. Melchior is said to have brought gold to offer to Jesus, symbolising his royal lineage.

Story
Melchior, one of the three Magi, is revered as a key figure in the Nativity story. Traditionally depicted as the eldest, he symbolizes wisdom and royalty. His gift of gold to the infant Jesus underscores the divine and kingly nature of the Messiah. His story, rooted in Christian traditions, identifies him as a Persian or Arabian king who, guided by the star, recognized Jesus as the "King of Kings." His veneration celebrates his faith and role in acknowledging Christ's divinity, making him a symbol of devotion and recognition of divine kingship.
