Balthazar Wise King for 10-12 cm Neapolitan Nativity, terracotta. Dimensions approx. 11.5x7.5x5 cm.
The statuette portrays Balthazar in regal attire carrying the gift for the Child Jesus, recalling the scene of the Adoration of the Magi. The face and limbs are modelled in terracotta, while the garments are made of fabric and hand-finished to characterise the Wise King.
Handcrafted in the workshop of Creazioni Paolo e Giulia in Naples, the piece follows the traditional techniques of Neapolitan Nativity craftsmanship. The terracotta modelling and the dressing of the figures preserve artisanal know-how handed down through generations.
Due to the limited availability of the fabrics used, each statuette is unique: colours, patterns and small details of the clothing may vary slightly from the photographs, reflecting the nature of handmade workmanship.
Ideal to complete the Adoration of the Magi together with Gaspar and Melchior, or to enrich Nativity Scenes with 10-12 cm figures.
Made in Italy.
