Nativity Wise Man Rochard Limoges Box, Green Coat

One of the three wise men arrives in a green coat, bearing his gift for the newborn king. Rochard made this nativity figure as a porcelain Limoges box, hand-painted in Limoges, France.

Following the Star

The magi traveled from the East guided by a star, and their story is a highlight of every nativity scene. Rochard gives this wise man a green coat that sets him apart from his companions. Every detail is painted by hand, so each figure has small differences in color and expression.

Epiphany Traditions

Many families add the wise men to their creche gradually, moving them closer each day until they arrive on Epiphany in early January. This piece fits that tradition beautifully. It makes a meaningful present for a godchild, a pastor, a choir director or a family building their first nativity set. Display it on a mantel beside the stable, on a side table near the tree, or on a church fellowship hall shelf. Collectors who own the red coat wise man will want this one to continue the procession.
