Supremely intellectual, Melchior keeps careful watch over his dear old friend, Kaspar in the stable.

Melchior is based on the commanding baritone king in Menotti’s opera, “Amahl and the Night Visitors.”

In the European tradition of an elaborate creche scene, or presipio, he is costumed more in a spirit of extravagance than historical accuracy.

HEAD & HANDS: Super Sculpy, painted.

EYES: Painted.

BODY: Wire frame.

HEIGHT: 18”.

COSTUME: Brick red antique rayon gown, embellished with tiny metal bead guards, edged with gold mesh and antique gold patamassere; gold mesh sleeves edged with nylon lace ruching. Red velvet cape with rabbit fur collar.

ACCESSORIES: Gold metal crown with gold metallic pouf and black lace roundel, white crepe gorget, rings.

NOT FOR SALE.
