King Balthazar - Fontanini® 50" Collection

King Balthazar – 50" Scale Nativity Figure
Brand: House of Fontanini | Item #52316

King Balthazar is captured mid-journey, stepping forward with purpose as he reverently presents his gift of myrrh to the Christ Child. As one of the Three Wise Men, Balthazar symbolizes devotion offered with humility, faith, and intention. His presence in the Nativity scene carries deep meaning, as the traditional gift of myrrh foretells Christ’s sacrificial destiny.

Fontanini’s celebrated Italian craftsmanship is evident in every detail — from the flowing, layered drapery of his richly styled garments to the meticulous hand-painting that brings warmth, depth, and realism to his expression. The elegant color palette of deep green and ivory, enhanced with ornate gold accents, reflects the dignity and splendor befitting a king.

Expertly crafted from marble-based resin, this commanding 50" scale figure is designed for larger church, chapel, and statement home Nativity displays. Balthazar’s dynamic, forward-moving pose adds visual storytelling, movement, and reverence to the sacred scene.

The Fontanini Nativity tradition began over 100 years ago in Bagni di Lucca, Italy, where Emanuele Fontanini opened his first workshop in 1908. Today, that legacy lives on through timeless sculptures created by skilled artisans. At House of Fontanini, we proudly continue this tradition — “Telling His Story, one piece at a time.”
