Balthazar (yule)

The absolute real deal, Balthazar contains the best frankincense I have ever had the pleasure of working with, along with the strange and compelling back up of myrrh. The two resins are knit together with a 100% natural golden amber blend which is gorgeous. If you are a natural perfume lover, I am sure you will love Balthazar. Dry, resinous.

Balthazar is traditionally the King of Tarse and Egypt and was black. He carried the golden gift. This image is the figure from my creche set which I have had all my life. I repainted Balthazar and gave him a gorgeous "jewel" to offer because originally he was empty handed. Well, you can't have that, so now he has a huge and sparkling gem. I have always known I would use this figure in my life's work and almost painted him when I was an artist but for some reason decided against it. He looks perfectly at home here.
