Hand-Painted Papier Mache Wise King Ornament from Armenia, "A Wise King"

After the birth of Jesus, this wise king came from far away to pay respect and honour the miracle God had given to the world. Depicted as a kind man carrying a unique gift for baby Jesus, the wise man dangles from a natural fiber cord in this papier mache ornament by Armenian artisan Rima Petrosyan, who paints the piece by hand for a charming look.
