MELCHIOR II by Tom Clark

"The Nativity story in the New Testament Gospel of Matthew does not give us the names of the Wise Men who came from the eastern world to bring gifts to the Baby Jesus. We assume there were three "Magi" because there were three gifts noted. The name "Melchior" has evolved through tradition in the early Church. The Byzantine mosaics in Ravenna, Italy, were my inspiration for the poses of each Wise Man. Melchior's elaborate "casket" contains gold."
