Description
Hand-made in the USA, the Companions Collection nativity features hand cast bonded marble figures created by designer Linda McDonald. Add to your Companions Collection Nativity scene with the wiseman Balthasar.
From the Companions Collector Card: Balthasar is a Persian, who, like the other wisemen, is an avid observer of the stars. For many nights he has marveled at the extraordinarily bright object that seems to be moving toward the Roman province of Judea. All astrologers (Magi) of the first century believed that bright stars signified the birth of great kings, and Balthasar wants to find this king and present his gift of expensive gold. Now he has found the Christ Child, and he knows that Jesus is no ordinary king.
The Christmas season is beautifully portrayed in this heirloom quality nativity set. Carefully chosen fabrics are applied to the bonded marble sculptures to add texture and an authentic first century appearance. Each year artist Linda MacDonald adds a new piece and retires an old one, and collectors are building value as they enjoy the beauty of this Christmas Nativity scene.
