Kneeling Magus Melchior for 10-12 cm Neapolitan Nativity, terracotta, measuring 8x8x6 cm.
The figurine depicts Melchior kneeling in adoration of the Infant Jesus, holding his gift in his hands. The head and limbs are modelled in terracotta, while the garments are made of fabric, with details that emphasise the character's regal dignity and the solemnity of the scene.
Produced by Creazioni Paolo e Giulia, an artisanal workshop rooted in the Neapolitan Nativity tradition, each figure is created through manual techniques that highlight careful attention to detail and the craftsmanship of the Neapolitan creche.
The terracotta is hand-worked and the dressing executed using selected fabrics chosen to characterise the figure and recall the style of traditional Neapolitan Nativity characters. Limited fabric availability makes each statuette unique: colours, patterns and small details may vary slightly from the photographs, confirming the artisanal nature of every piece.
Ideal for completing the Adoration of the Magi scene, Melchior can be paired with the other Magi and figures for 10-12 cm Nativity Scenes.
Made in Italy.
